Windshield internal crack

[gusgus12]

Wondering if anyone else had this issue. The windshield seems cracked right where the rearview mirror sits. Car has 2.8k km and has been babied; My dealer says the warranty would never cover this...

I'm surprised this wouldn't be covered.
We had a similar thing happen on my wife's Maserati. It was fully covered under warranty.

Hope it will be; it's up to Lotus I guess but my dealer is saying it's unlikely.

If not warranty cover, then glass cover on your insurance might cover it (probably with a small excess if your cover is anything like we get in the UK on most policies) if you have it ??

If it's the inside layer that's cracked and there is no evidence of impact on the exterior layer, I would argue the case that it should be covered.

As I am in Cyprus, the only insurance I could get on the car involved a 5k excess; might as well pay out of pocket...

Since there are two others with cracks at the exact same location I'd revisit the warranty topic with your dealer if you actually paid out of pocket

Here is my crack, not in the surface. Identical to previous post

Which is the other one? at this point I need to get a lawyer involved to email Lotus...
