Took the car out of the garage this morning where it had been under a cover for several weeks. Then I noticed I had a crack in the windshield starting a few inches above the bottom at the left side edge and extending maybe 6” into the middle.
 I have no idea how this happened, there is no sign of impact or anything else. This is not a repairable problem, the windshield will need to be replaced. Waiting for my insurance company to see how much deductible applies in this case. Windshields seem to be available, I was just wondering if there are any issues/suppliers I should watch out for… Also surprised at the prices, they’re not as expensive as I thought here - like 400€ - seems more expensive in the US - maybe because they’re imported? |

No idea how long it's been in there, only had the car for less than a year now. Guess it's unlikely to be original, most likely installed when the car was restored in 2012. Too bad it was in perfect shape, no scratches or anything. I tried to find the reference that's printed on the glass on the 'net, but didn't turn up anything... Looks like SIGLA did make the OEM windshields though. Saw something about Pilkington now making them?
