Hmm but Ford should have thought about this and made the glass stronger/thicker. Perhaps you could argue its a design fault. I know that I have at least two chips on mine so am I to expect a crack if I turn the heated screen on?

Ummm... well since you asked... yes...?

A design fault.....? Why do people want to blame everyone in the world for something that... wait for it... just happens?
Plus how thick would you like this glass to be? Surely if the glass has HFS, is say 2 inches thick, has a chip it will STILL crack?

any chip can cause the windscreen to break on any type of car! so can't blame anyone for it!

Characteristic of cars in general this time, not just our s

They are not near the heating element so i might get away with it. Watch it bloody crack now i've said that ... just my luck. I'm not sure what the answer is to this problem but i've never had a standard window crack due to ice/chips. Perhaps I should have them filled in by autoglass. Only other car that did this was the Clio Cup because it has thinner glass to save weight.

Wtf? Are you nuts? LOL... Turn up at the dealership with a cracked and broken screen under your arm saying "I demand to see the manager about this!!!". Iceman you really really have to get off this "its a characteristic" obsession of yours coz it aint healthy. Its only £50-70 for pitty's sake and doesnt affect your no claims so what exactly is the big deal? Its not like he's paying £300 - £400 for a new screen is it???? Our old BMW had a chip under the tax disc which my mum "forgot" about but I'm sure if the car had HFS she would have had to deal with it much sooner rather than later!
