When and where did you notice it? How old is your vehicle, and are you aware of a probable cause; weather related, direct impact to the windscreen, impact to the vehicle, any work conducted on the vehicle?
I own a base 2017 HRV with 20 k miles and lately noticed what looks like a crack in the windshield where the rear view mirror attaches to windshield. About 1 inch long.
Most likely a chip. The only way I've heard of a windshield breaking "spontaneously" was due to extreme heat, and slamming the door shut on a well sealed vehicle. Even then it likely already had a weak spot from a chip.
Check your insurance. Quite a lot cover glass 100%.
Is it a clean crack or is there an impact point somewhere along it? Is it possible someone or something impacted the rear view mirror? Is the rear view mirror loose and this is the cause?
Some cracks can be invisibly repaired by a glass specialist, possibly worth a punt. In the UK most insurers will cover glass repairs for free, but will charge an excess if the windscreen requires replacing, so as above, check your car insurance T&C's.
I have a 2017 HRV where a small crack appeared out of nowhere in summer 2021 and the next time I went in the car it was bigger and now it’s across the the entire length of the windshield.
not onlythis but my entire roof of car has peeled and paint has been recalled. With COVID I couldn’t reach the dealership, which the Honda Canada kept saying I had to dealer with the dealership. My next steps, even, with cancer and compromised immune system I have to go in person. I’ve sent requested images and promised responses… never came. I wish they still had journalists who helped you challenge such issues. Pay $35.000 for a car that in less than3 years started to deteriorate and less than a year later, a rarely driven car, only driven by me so I would know if something hit my windshield… plus the crack started from the inside. They can’t blame weather, welcome to Canada. A life long Honda driver, will never buy another Honda nor will my driving age driving children. They are going to VW. I will tell this from every rooftop and platform I can until Honda Canada and specifically Barrie Honda Dealership be held responsible. That’s why I do as much as I can with email.. writtenproof and phone records will show the many, many calls that went unreturned.
