My screen cracked this morning from virtualy the passenger side all the way to the drivers side apillar. When i looked at the screen to find the the bast@rd stone chip that started the crack off, all i could find was a tiny pin ***** that was about .25mm deep. I know a chip will start cracks off but this seems so small, it makes me wonder if the screen was defective in the first place.

Very much doubt warrantly would cover that , I had simailar happen but never asked as there was a small stone chip (like yours ) , insyreres did it ( £50 excess ) and used genuine subaru windscreen

Warranty won't cover it as it's nigh on impossible to prove it was down to a manufacturing defect. Grit yer teeth and use your insurance, and be very very glad you're not paying for the whole lot!

Austin,
Just a thought but I wonder if you could get hold of a heated front screen for the scoob ? that would be a good upgrade to the standard one.
I have not heard of anyone having one but maybe one of the windscreen supplies may be able to aquire one ??
Might be impossible but it is worth investigating.
