Damn, really? My dealership told me I was SOL
Worked at a dealership years ago and we had a ballpoint pen test. if you could "scribble" the pen across the crack and no where along did the pen find a spot where it clicked/caught on anything, then it was a stress crack and could be warrantied. Any place a stone or something damaged the glass, there will be a noticeable spot where the pen catches, you'll feel it, and that's where the impact happened = not warranty.
Sure looks like that's the culprit. Probably would have heard when that happened too.
That makes perfect sense as to why mine got denied. I appreciate your insight
You are correct, sucks it happened to you as well
Zoom in on the photo and you’ll see it’s a rock chip.
Yeah, they looked at it for a while and agreed it was a stress crack. I actually saw the crack start. I was at a red light in Moab, just starting to turn right and suddenly it appeared right in front of my face from the left edge. No rock chip.
Ford doesn't make the glass - Ford (along with almost all other car makes) uses either Saint-Gobain glass or FUYAO. You can check yours by looking at the lower left corner of your side windows and windscreen - there should be a manufactures label there
Interesting. Do they make them all to the same specs?
I would assume all glass manufactures need to produce the glass to a certain minimum safety standard - almost all car models are global nowdays, so I would also think the glass will need to be as strong as needed to statisfy all markets around the world
