Yet another cracked windshield...

I drove it 2 years after that without issue.

Both of my cracks have been low. But both were stone strikes which I heard clearly. There are many chips from stones striking away from the edges and not causing cracks. I think that's because there's more give away from the edges.

I am really skeptical that a windshield can crack from temperature change alone. I have lived in New England and the upper Midwest and have never experienced or heard about temp induced windshield cracking.

I've had it happen. I was in my DD, and it was during the winter, and I was parked waiting for coffee one morning. The defroster was on hot, and I heard a little "pop", like water dripping on the windshield, and I looked at the windshield and watched it splinter about 14-16" long.
