Yeah, my 84' F250 did it twice in the first week before it had 200 miles on it. The dealer replaced it no problem and kept saying it must not have been seated right. Both times it cracked in the same place, right in front of me at the top. Both times it happened while the truck was sitting parked in the sun in Aug.

I feel your pain. I had 3000 miles on mine. A really nice piece of junk thru a .25 inch chunk of sand ( according to the state of wash) and broke mine. Replacement work was a sad affair. I guess I expect to much from a dealership. Be picky where you take it. On the plus side, I got ride of my flaw in my old windshield.
