Cracked Screen

This is something that always happened to 'other' people except me. And then, today, I just happened to be that 'other people'. And it came out of the blue. All I did was to drive at the normal speed limit and then the crack sound happened. So, it must be the lorry in front and not the cars since I did nothing to offend them. I tried to spot for any mischievous beings with an elastic stone launcher but there were none.

And so, I had to drive slowly, with fears in my head that the crack will spread to the rest of the windshield. Sigh. And its just only a month Vee-chai and I had each other....

This is the crack on the glass. If I were not that
paranoid, I would say that someone is trying to
kill me with a stone.

Its very big, about the size of a 10sen coin.
Big enough to spread the damage.

And so, after calling Glass Breakers, they told me to
try putting a cellophane tape to the glass until they
can come over. The tape is to keep the dirt out.
Which is a simple thing to do until...

Cats and Dogs came about, that is. A few swipes and
the cellophane tape was gone....

So, I dunno. I mean, I have driven Perodua cars before and to tell you the truth, they always have problems with their windscreens.Years ago, when I drove my ex-Boss's Kenari, all it took was just a small pebble from a lorry to start a small crack. The problem with this one was that it has extending fracture lines and in a few hours, the (cracked) line spread to across the screen. Vee-chai was luckier because it was just a cavity. And suspecting the screen was not covered, I confirmed with the Glass Breakers to get it fixed asap.

On my Bengmobile, it would have just shrugged off the pebble with no problem even though the sound of the impact scares the hell out of you. Anyway, they SMS-ed me not to slam the door and to leave a gap in the window so that the air pressure in the cabin is the same. This is because once you close the door or slam it, the pressure inside pushes the glass which then complicates the problem with the windscreen.
