 On march 5, 2005, a 2 inch x 2 inch l shaped crack was first developed at the mid bottom section of the windshield of my 2004 mini cooper s. the short arm of the l originated from the bottom of the windshield. on the next day, after parking inside my garage overnight, the long arm of the l propagated another 2 inches. today, while driving, the crack further extended another 1/4 inch. the problem is that the crack started with no obvious reasons. the only sensible explanation is due to design of the body struture or defect from mini coopers, and subsequently causes stress to the windshield. it does not take long to learn from the internet message board that many similar complaints or recurring incidents were also reported. one of the message board participant who installs windshield for car suggested us to file a complaint at this site because windshield problem can be fatal because of the followings: 1. act as a support for the roof. 2. act as a barrier to prevent passenger from ejecting of the car.. cause airbag malfunctioned.*ak i strongly urge the nhtsa to investigate this problem immediately.
