If it was a cheapie replacement, it may be that the glass wasn't up to standard and a jolt during the drive may have been enough to break it. | |

| Jun 16, 2015 at 11:03 | comment | added | Mauro | @Paulster2 I was trying to understand what shattered meant - as that could change what happened to it. for example a rock strong enough to chip a laminated windscreen could easily shatter a screen made of tempered glass instead. Not sure how the OP has ruled out that case though. | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 11:01 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | Please remember, countries other than the US have different laws about what the front windshield is made out of and how it is constructed. We should endeavor not to find an issue with what the glass is made of, but rather answer the question as put to us. | |

| Jun 16, 2015 at 10:26 | comment | added | Mauro | Not necessarily, laminated glass will still crack but just wont fall out, additionally, the side windows in vehicles when they are smashed turn to small fragments of glass instantly and fall out of the frame. I suspect a large rock or item hit the windscreen and resulted in the cracks or hitting a pothole could have caused the windscreen to flex too much and crack | |

| Jun 16, 2015 at 10:22 | comment | added | shabby | i think it was not laminated, because instantly all the cracks spread on the whole shield and it was difficult to see through, so my dad had to break it in order to drive back home. If it were laminated the crack wouldn't have spread that fast and in all of the shield instantly right? | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 10:16 | comment | added | Mauro | by shatters do you mean the windshield was not laminated? i.e. it behaves in the same way as the side windows? | |
