Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2003 honda element developed a crack below the driver side wiper that goes up three inches then does a 90 degree right turn then travels approxiamately two feet horizontally then does another 90 degree turn down into window bead. there is a very very slight "dink" in the windshield along the crack but your fingernail barely catches in it. i believe as do many other 2003 element owners that there is undue stress on the corners of the windshield and this is what caused the damage. i believe this is a design flkaw that should be covered by honda. *nm
