Just found dual cracks
Just found dual cracks starting from right passenger side under wiper heating area when we vacationed in 20 degree area of N Washington over the Holidays in 2015 Outback. It is obvious that the windshield is inherently fragile from all the reports, but more importantly, it is the feature of the heated area of the front windshield (which I think is uncommon) is the true cause of the issue. The heaters are most likely causing the different glass/resin materials to heat up too quickly in cold temperatures and causing stress from the different coefficient of expansions along with possible chemical attack from the materials used in the glass and heater. Definitely seems like a recall situation that they are avoiding possibly because so many insurance companies seem to cover replacement with deductibles. Will find out position from Seattle dealer soon.
