Can lifting (2 post) a unibody car crack the windshield?

Well can it? Say the blocks aren't level under the car and lifts the car on a bit of an angle, or the car slips a bit etc etc. Is it possible for it to crack the windshield?

Yes, anything is possible. Their was a thread on here a while back about a guy who jacked his car up and the windsheild cracked. Probably not very a often thing to happen.

I remember that thread, hell I've seen it done. Dammit I KNOW that crack wasn't there in the slightest before I took it to the shop. Gonna have a fun time proving that they did it though

Lol, ya, good luck with that.

They put it back on the lift today, and the crack grew another 6 inches . We also took a closer look at the windshield and it right around where the crack started were little pits and some weld splatter. So I think the window was weak before, maybe had an internal crack and the lift just split it more. Insurance is covering it.

whenever you have a crack in a windshield and stress is applied around it (small amount of flexing by the frame of the car or even just pressing your hand on the windshield hard) it will grow larger.

sucks that happened though
