Same incident as mine few years back. Travelling to Penang then piak..cracked! Ur mech is right..should be cause by the diff temperature. Mine is more obvious that outside is damn hot..wen i wind down my mirror few few secs and close it back..windscreen straightaway crack...If there are any small rocks..u could hav heard the collision rite? :P

Yes, i experienced it b4 1 year ago.
It suddenly : bi lik ba lak..........all crashed into million pieces. And it starting falling everywhere on the dashboard. :(



Then during fixing the time, ask from those sifus and some sifus from ZTH.
Actually it got a few years use ages for every windscreen, normally are 3 ~ 4 years the max. ;)

a sudden temperature change will cause the glass molecules to move more horrendously. thats why windscreens breaks when a water drips on a hot windscreen.

one more reason is that if u change wind screen before they install senget for u also will cause sudden break cos it hit the body and this problem solve when my cousin change 3 time windscreen in 3 month then the last expert solve it for him. make sure u find an expert in changing cos if not later sure shatterd again
