Unhappy Hows this for a sickener

Just taken delivery of my WRX Wagon with PPP, got in the car this morning and noticed a crack running along the corner of the windscreen. Not even been that far, deff did'nt hear any stone strikes. Done a thousand miles in the company Focus last week, not a mark on her. I might as well paint a target on the Scooby.

Take it to your local Autoglass / RAC Windscreen place & ask them to have a look. It's easy to tell if you have a stone chip or a stress crack. If it's a stress crack take it back to dealer.

Had the same thing a few years back, brought a Fiesta Zetec-s, got it home and noticed a little crack under the wiper. but i couldn't be sure if it was there when i collected it.

Same as Dave 68 but I'd either go straight to dealer or make sure car was looked at not too far from one so that dealer can inspect easily if necessary. If there's a spot weld that's slightly proud it can cause this, it usually happens in the corner of the 'screen like yours.
