I am on my third BDR windshield. The first crack (up and down about 8 inches right of center), I found one morning in my garage. The second one lasted about one year, and cracked, in the same place when I slamed my hood. The third one cracked , in the same place when I came off the track (on my fourth event). So what causes it? I havent a clue. But it would seem shock is being transmitted to the glass from the frame. Possibly rubber bushings between the frame and glass frame would help.

I am going to try lexan. I understand it comes tinted and with a no scratch coating. Cost would be about 150.00 for the material. Problem is finding someone that has it in stock and will cut you off a piece. I was told by one supplier who had to order it special ,that I would have to pruchase a 4X8 pices for $600.00. Which would not be bad it I can get 3 other guys that want some.
