If you choose not to buy another BMW (Waaaaahhhhhh) because you broke something and want someone else to pay for it. So be it. Grow up, put it behind you and learn to be more carefull of things you are warned about in advance. We all make stupid mistakes sometimes. |

The interference is caused by two factors: Aerodynamics - a high rear edge of the hood that is close to the windshield gives a much smoother airflow over the hood onto the windshield, as the wipers are shielded from interfering with the airflow. Pedestrian safety - this is especially prevalent in the much stricter EU laws (compared with the US) to prevent head injury to pedestrians in an accident. The hood has to be higher and further back to prevent hard contact when a pedestrian's head hits it and distorts it. There needs to be space underneath it, and it must shield the wipers and base of the windshield. |

Only an idiot would drive a car into his garage with a bicycle on the roof, or use that anology for the negligence of BMW with respect to this substandard design. Common sense dictates that a car, especially a supposedly well designed German car, should not sustain severe damage simply as a result of opening the hood while the wipers are in the up position. Unfortunately, common sense is something that is sorely lacking among many people these days. |

If I choose not to buy another BMW, it will because they are poorly designed pieces of junk, not because I broke something and want someone else to pay for it. This car cost $38K, do you really think I’m angry because I'm going to have to pay a $75 comprehensive deductible? The fact that there are so many Americans like you, who willingly accept mediocrity, is why America is becoming a third rate economic power and why we have a President Obama. |

This. You broke your window. It's in the manual. Law suit? That's weak, man.

Had I known that BMW is the preferred car of so many idiots, I would have gotten another Mercedes. Even though I’ve scheduled an appointment to have the windshield replaced, I will still be filing a class action lawsuit against BMW. For those of you in here who have a triple digit IQ, please email me your contact information if you care to participate in that lawsuit. To the rest of you, goodbye and have fun in your little forum where I guess you sit around all day talking about your stupid cars. |

I usually do not comment on people’s behavior but you are a D I C K! Now go buy another car and you can complain on that models forum with the little issues you run into. Trust me, about any car you get will have some little quark with it. Good luck in life, you will need it!

Thanks for this!
I had a crack appear on the upper passenger side of the windshield while I was driving 20mph in a mall parking lot. No rock involved, just heard a snap while making an uphill right hand turn. Reaching out to my local dealer with this bulletin number... hope they'll take care of it. Quote:

Not sure why you guys don't have glass replacement coverage on your cars? Living in Arizona it's not uncommon to replace your windshield at least once a year maybe every two years. I'm sure glad I have it on all my cars.
