What can cause a crack on my 2003 nissan xterra windshield?

My 2003 Nissan Xterra has a crack in the middle of the windshield. it is towards the bottom where the black strip is. Can anybody tell me what caused it to crack since there is no sign of an impact on the windshield? Thanks

Answer #1

if a little peick of metal or a rock that was kicked up by a car hits the windscreen, then yea it could cause a chip. Once my brother and I were driving to a ski place and a salt truck turnd up infront of us. unfortunatly, he decided to turn on the salt machins and salt went everywhere. the next day, with a screaming dad, we discovered there was a little chip. Now, a year later, it has spread across the bottom of the screen and there is a huge crack. TIP! don’t drive behind a salt truck, even though it is clearing the snow for you, and DO NOT WAIT to get it fixed.

Answer #2

Going down the interstate or something if a rock or something blunt hits, you wont see impact it will just crack the safety glass, happened to me in my ford ranger, luckily I have full coverage and got a free new windshield.

But yeah, anything blunt, or pressure from slamming doors too much can do it. Sharp/pointy objects will leave a impact mark.
