I wouldn't go that far. More than likely there was a reason as to why your Windshield cracked. Possibly there was a small rock chip and it was cold outside or etc which made the glass more vulnerable to the situation. I'd just replace it.

I also agree.... U would need like over 200 db's shooting directly at the window to maybe crack it... U must have had a small crack before....

Have you checked your with your insurance co? Mine pays for a free one a year but I also have 0 comprehensive. The cost was of the windshield when they replaced it last year was around $200. Hope this helps.

...also just wanted to mention that a plexiglass/lexan replacement would be more of a pain in the *** than glass as they are notorious for scratching very easily
