Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was traveling on the highway at the recommended speed of 65 mph with more than sufficient space between my car and the car in front of me and a small pebble smaller than the eraser on a pencil hit the top of my windshield and made a small star crack - this crack is smaller than the head of a nail. the crack continued to grow into an l shape, 5 inches long right behind the rear view mirror. this seems to be a common problem with the mini windshield and the problem is fixed once you replace the windshield with a thicker glass. this could lead to serious injuries had a bigger rock hit the windshield. *jb
