My car is a 2003 Corolla, I bought it in December, I had to replace the windshield in January and now it has been a month and it is cracked again and will need to be fixed. My belief is that the windshields being manufactured for the new Corolla's cannot stand normal road conditions, and cracks when even a small rock hits it. This will be my second windshield and I have only had the car 2 months.
