I also got a new windshield a few years ago, and then it was promptly cracked again within 1 year. The crack runs all the way across but way down low by the windshield wipers. I haven't been quick to fix it because it doesn't affect my field of vision at all. I hate it, though, because I refuse to buy my beloved Bosch Icon windshield wipers because I believe the crack has been tearing up wipers prematurely. So I buy cheap ones and deal with it.
