Well I found out my upcoming s2k had to have the windshield replaced because apparently my brother was getting in the passenger seat, and he grabbed the top of the windshield for support and apparently put a huge crack in it!!!! It must have flexed just enough to break the glass, which seems pretty crazy to me.

Is this something I am going to have to worry about? Has anyone even heard of this happening before? It would be good to know to warn people about who are getting into my passenger seat if it can happen this easily or if it was just a fluke...

I have never heard of this, but then again, I don't grab the windshield when I get in.

no worries because replacing the windshield is a deductable free insurance claim here in FL.

that's not the worry though...

Did the A-pillar move enough to break the windshield? If so, the A-pillar is definitely damaged, and this is your life support in a rollover. It shouldn't budge at all.

Strikes me as a very strange way to break a windshield.

hmmm, I will have to try and get more details about this i guess, maybe I misunderstood my parents. That is a scary thought that I might not be protected in a rollover, especially since I will be racing this car.

Yeah it definitely shouldn't have cracked from grabbing the windshield frame...should be the stiffest part of the car.
