Windshield cracks?

[TravellingBs]

Has anyone had issues with the FR3 front window cracking? We had the dealer reveal the window when we bought it in 2013, then noticed last year a crack appeared passenger side about midway starting at the edge. We had no idea how it started and stupidly let it go for the winter. Upon uncovering my unit last week I discovered another crack (y-shaped) at the bottom center about 5 inches long. Knowing that I will need great patience when I call FR I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem?

When my windshield cracked, bottom middle, I was pretty sure it was from a rock. My insurance company referred me to Duncan Systems. They're not far from the FR facility. They asked me to take a pic of the crack, and the info off the lower passenger side. He told me that they have had to replace a few windshields on brand new FR3 right out of the factory that cracked. May want to give Duncan a call. Sorry, I don't have their number but, they're in Elkhart, Indiana.
Outcome of my windshield? Damn rock, lol. Could see the chip. Insurance took care of it. New windshield was shipped to installer by Duncan.

Thank you for the feedback! I have yet to take to a glass/windshield shop but my untrained eye can't find any evidence of a rock starting it-they both seem to have started from the seam outward...If there's no known issue then insurance is next

We had a crack appear on the driver side edge. We contacted Forest River and replacement was covered under warranty. Just had it done a week ago. FR was great!

Yep, mine cracked about midway up on the drivers side. I took it to the dealer where I bought it. It was still under warranty, so they replaced it.

Still waiting to hear back from tbird at FR, definitely no sign of a rock on either spot...pics attached
