#3 of 19 Windshield stress fracture by ringo3 Aug 05, 2007 (1:53 pm)
Replying to: toebitus (Aug 02, 2007 2:58 am) I'm having the exact same problem as cindyj!! I have my Fit for one year now and I noticed a small stress fracture on the lower passenger side of the windsheild a few months ago. Then recently exact same fracture(like a half- moon shape) apperred on the driver's side, too. I have not been to a dealership yet, but they do look like stress fractures to me Replies to this message: toebitus (Aug 06, 2007 3:31 pm)

I own a 2008 Honda Fit Sport. I have a small crescent-shaped crack in the bottom left corner of my windsheild. I'm not sure if a rock hit it or not. I kind of just looked and it was there. I'm suprised there are so many similar problems. I'm going to try and get the dealer to fix it.

Replying to: cindyj (Jul 05, 2007 5:30 pm) Same thing with my car. Fracture of the lower passenger corner. Dealer states this is not a problem with the fit and refuses to repair it. I will try to contact Honda directly. Anyone have any luck trying this to get it repaired? Replies to this message: backy (Sep 08, 2008 7:22 am)

Replying to: gary80 (Sep 08, 2008 6:54 am) If Honda refuses to help with this, you could file a complaint with the NHTSA. A crack in the windshield could be considered a safety issue that they could start an investigation about.
#10 of 19 Not a stress fracture by gary80 Oct 29, 2008 (7:04 am)
I took the car to the dealer, ins agent, and the local glass repair place. I called Honda and spoke to their rep as well. All agree it is not a stress fracture. Upon closer examination they saw a tiny indentation in the crack which they all state is an impact.   As it only involves a corner, replacement is not really needed as the structure of the window remains sound. Gluing the creack is not possible.   Hope this helps with others who notice a simular crack. Replies to this message: pc2033 (Nov 20, 2008 7:30 am)

Replying to: cindyj (Jul 05, 2007 5:30 pm) I have a 2008 fit with about 17000 miles. This afternoon while looking at a low flying helicopter out the driver side of the windshield I saw a 8" long crack suddenly appear in the upper portion of the windshield. I was stunned. We were traveling at about 60 mph and absolutely nothing hit the windshield. I plan on calling the dealer first thing in the morning. Thank you again internet. It is sooooooooo nice to be able to research something like this and find other people with the same issue.
