Re: confirmed: 997 windshield chips-cracks problem

Well, here is an update on the situation: its not even a month and a half with the new windshield since it was last replaced and I already have a half moon chip on one place and a spider crack on another (the latter likely to open up into a longer slit/crack in time).
Its simply ridiculous, I drive other cars as well and have no problems whatsoever, I had never had to replace a windshield in any of may prevous cars ever either, I did tons of miles with my ex-996 and no problems... but once I replaced the first windshield of my 997, its been one windshield after the other, anything that touches the wiundshields causes damage until I'm forced to replace the windshield. This would make my fifth windshield in one year's time.
The only reason I can think of is that the shop does not replace the windshield correctly and is not set or tensioned correctly which would lead to fragility of the windshield to impacts, hence explaining that once I replaced the first one, the whole problem started, but how to prove it?
Carlos,
I think that you are right about source of your problems-shop does not replace the windshield correctly!
FIFTH windshield in one year...
Did you talk with shop owner(or person in charge)?
Maybe you need to take some law action against them...
