Thank youI see where this is headed..Reminder no politics of any kind or this will be locked.
make a warranty claimHad not driven my 2019 Tahoe for a week, walked by last night and it now has a 7 inch crack coming down from near the antenna on drivers side. There is no impact marks anywhere, it has 4,200 miles.
when we had a loaner from dealer, the Tahoe we were given to drive, had a crack in the same area but 3 times longer, is this a known fault or did I just get unlucky? Would this be covered by the warranty?
thanks!
No, repairs are made with uv glue that’s much thinner than water and is activated with a uv light. That’s how they’re repaired by reputable places like Safelite. Car wash folks? Really? All you’ll do with superglue is make a mess. It will never make it into the crack.Agree with other posters (Will). Replacing these windshields is a PITA because the glass shop has to do a calibration for your front facing cameras and sensors.
Cheapest idea: If you want to avoid replacement hassle and potentially cost, and can live with a small star crack, drop a small drop of the most viscous superglue you can find right onto the crack (have a damp towel at the ready to wipe up any spillage); the superglue will then seep into the crack and seal it for years to come. It is the way car wash folks and others repair a crack when you don't want to replace the windshield.
