Laminated windshield cracking from water

This link is about an Aston Martin, but I wonder if our Zs are also susceptible to this type of failure.

Based on what the author states in the article it seems like a good rain shower would have had the same result. Seems like an unlikely cause IMHO.

I would suspect that likely during his drive down I95 something hit that windshield, and might not have left much of a mark.
Once the heat cold cycle occurred, then the crack happened.
I have never had a crack in a windshield that was not caused by an earlier impact, regardless if it had starred or not.

Good to see his cost far more than ours!
I thought 2900 was rough for the ZR-1 with new weatherstrip and tax!
I guess everything is indeed relative!

Agreed, I have seen steam come off my windshield when it rains on a hot day in Texas, and nothing cracked.
