Texas Inspections
how are the inspectors about cracked windows??
got a crack that starts inbetween the wiper blades at the top of the black at the bottom of the windshield goes up 5" and goes all the way across the passanger side. this happened the day after a brand new windshield was put in.....dont want to put a new one in unless i have to cause this one is only 6 months old.
thanks

I've had mine inspected with a crack for several years without a problem. I was told as long as the crack doesn't obstruct the drivers line of view, then there shouldn't be a problem. Alot of that determination would probably be with where you had it inspected.......

Inspections vary greatly. Most don't do anything but honk the horn and flash the lights on a diesel.
Braking test usually means taking it out to the parking lot and mashing the pedal. If it stops, you pass.
But I have had them take one of those long handled mirrors like you see the border patrol using and look at the muffler for holes.
I don't think that you will have any trouble, and I certainly would not buy a new windshield.

in TX the only "wording" for windshield is that the wipers must make full contact with the windshield. No mention of cracks. I actually seen a car at a show with Lexan for a windshield and a TX insp sticker. I asked about it the next time I was in for an insp and the inspector said rules are real loose on windshields, go figure??
