Default Impact!

driving to work yesterday and getting off the exit, traffic on the other side, then CRACK!! what the ---- was that? looked at the windshield and saw the impact. very small. no bug, must have been a rock. it was loud. upon inspection it left a very small star. about mid way, down at the bottom. figures, drove all winter without incident, then bam. at least it did not crack. for a 07, my windshield is really pristine. just one other smaller pit. part of jeep ownership.

I've had quite good luck with those places that repair a windshield--almost always can't see the repair. I did have one that, after about three years, spread out from the damaged area overnight across three feet of windshield. But, if you don't have a star repaired, it'll be sooner than later that you're buying a new windsheild.
