  1. Well my hairline crack has spread to become a visibility issue (long horizontal line right at eye level on driver's side) so I'm going for the replacement. Tried the safelight web site for a quote and it came out to $484.95 for parts/labor in my ZIP code and once you throw taxes and disposal fee on top of that it, doesn't look like I would save anything by paying cash vs filing a claim with a $500 deductible. At least I was able to get a quick appointment for on-site service and my insurance works directly with safelight to file the paperwork. Hopefully the price will come down in the future and thanks for the tip!
  2. Same thing happened to me, also about three weeks past my purchase anniversary (April 30 2013) but on the driver side. Was about 10 inches long yesterday (and this morning), but then by the afternoon had cracked another 6 inches. Strange that there's no impact mark or spider-webbing - just one long, snaking hairline crack. I can't swear it wasn't initially caused by impact but I noticed it when I came out to my car after being inside. The new cracking definitely happened all on its own. I called my insurance for a quote on replacing the glass and it's just over $500 (unfortunately that's also my deductible...) but at this point I'm afraid that if I don't fix it the whole windshield might fail after a couple more thermal expansion cycles.
