Are you able to get it from the correct camera? That is 100% the point of impact as said before. Touch wood, I have never suffered a broken window in any of my cars!! :roll:

Just a thought could it have been something pressing from the inside at that impact point? Possibly due to shoddy installation?

That's what I'm hoping, I'll be liking tomorrow....does anyone know a autoglass engineer so they could collaborate my thoughts on event's to the other guys that fitted this glass.

jobby luck but at least there is no excess to pay!

If they kick up a fuss I have a friend who works for Autoglass who I guess could offer his take, although 1 vs 1 between screen fitters will probably get nowhere :lol:
