windshield recommendations?

[Ben Swann]

This is usually caused by the wiper blade impacting the glass when sandwhiched
beteen the hood as it is closed.  It does not take much of a bump as the edge
is very fragile.  Sometimes it happens right away after the impact and
sometimes something causes the crack to run.  Usually due to careless
installation and installer not paying attention to detail when reinstalling
the wiper blade.  Make sure this problem is resolved or the same thing will
happen again.

 

Safelite has been for me price and convenience wise.
