Hi,
I've noticed my windshield has cracked pretty bad in the middle-bottom and started to spider-web to the top/sides. I believe it might be from the way I drive into the garage: it has a steep entry- underground garages, so to not hit the bottom of the car I have to drive in sideways and I believe the body is twisting a bit. After a year of doing so (possibly) my windshield gave up.
Do you know any precautions I can take so the new windshield did not crack the next day I replace this OEM one? I believe aftermarket one will be less rigid and could crack much quicker... Will Front/Rear tower braces hep? I'm also considering replacing Rear sway bar with the stronger one.
Can you suggest other ways to stiffen the body? Thanks
Car: 2G GST with lowered suspension (stock shocks, aftermarket springs)
