2016 Chevrolet Corvette Visibility & wipers

The top drivers side of the windshield has a 2" hairline crack that you cannot feel from the outside of the vehicle. Numerous Corvette Forum Sites have discussions regarding this to be a manufacturer assembly flaw. Apparently there is some left over welding material near the corner of the windshield pillar. This material creates pressure against the inside of the glass causing it to crack on the inside layer of glass. I have contacted the local Chevrolet dealer and the GM Customer Care Center. Both have declined to...

even look at the crack stating it is not GM's fault. There are numerous posts on the Corvette Forums showing pictures of cracks just like mine. GM's answer was to have my insurance company replace the glass. I do not feel this is right given this is a quality control issue. Some of the windshields in the forum posts have continued to crack across the whole top of the windshield.

inside of the windshield causing them to crack. This can obstruct the view of the driver and is unsafe. My car has done the same thing. When contacting the dealer, we have been told this is not a recall or service bulletin and so it will be out-of-pocket repair and not covered under warranty.

Windshield mounting stress crack. While inside my garage today, I found a large 25 inch long crack in the upper drivers side corner of my 2015 corvette. Upon inspection the crack is on the inside layer of the 2 layer glass. Nothing fell on the car and I haven't driven it for 6 months. Being friends with other corvette owners, I spoke with them and was sent to the 'corvetteforum ' online. I was surprised to find this is an ongoing issue with this model of car. While some owners are covered for replacement by gm...

dealerships under warranty. Many owners are not covered even tho they have very low mileage. My car, 6 years old and 27,000 miles. The forums discusses owners dismay and safety concerns, and how could so many corvette c7s have the same issue, and gm not issuing a recall or something to help all the owners. These cracking windshields pose a safety and legal issue if driven. It is not an act of god that caused the cracks, but a misaligned guide pin or tab in direct contact with the glass gm designed into the car. I like gm, and would like them to like me too. That mutual respect is truly what this world needs now.

windshield? Is there possibly a problem with the quality of the glass chevrolet has installed in the new stingray? I have had rocks hit my windshield(s) over the years- I have owned over 20 cars- ( 13 previous corvettes ) from what I recall- I have only had to have 1 windshield replaced prior to this new car. Usually - these rocks reflect off of the glass without any damage. If there is a problem with the design/angle and quality to the windshield this could potentially be a serious problem with the new stingray-corvette! *Tr
