Windshield Cracking in Cold Weather
Not like shattering, but it makes a cracking noise after it has been in the cold for a while and then I start driving it. It seems to be coming from the edges and it is almost a clicking sound. Usually after the car warms up it goes away.
I know it's just the windshield fluxuating from the temperature. Should I take it to the dealer or is this normal for our cars?

Rep Power: 0 Do a search for Recalls. This sounds like one of those windshield recall problems. If you get cracks from the corners, it's a warantee replacement.

Rep Power: 0 Usually means the windshield is under stress. I had my jeep windshield replaced twice and now when the car is in the sun it cracks and makes a really loud crack sound once every few mins. I hope it doesnt really crack but it might... it has to do with the way things are situated and if the glass is under stress

Rep Power: 0 My 2001 CIVIC DX SEDAN's windshield is cracking on the lower left without any reason. I hear there's a TECH SEVICE BULLETIN (01-091 / Oct-01)? refering to this problem and a fix under warranty. Can someone update and copy the TSB please?
