Yes I was concerned that a two inch crack would be too distracting.
They recovered me 200 miles and bought me lunch.
I'm now driving a 535d whilst they pray to the Acrylic Gods for answer.
Not being religious, I don't hold out much hope

You got recovered because of a crack in your windscreen?
Oh, this just gets better.

whoooosh!
I totally understand. I got a dead fly on my visor and felt my safety was in dire
peril
So I got recovered so bmw assist could clean my visor. I've got an M5 as a loaner until all flies in the UK are eradicated
I'm not complaining

I am on my 3rd too - I thought that I was the only one with this problem
Did the dealer fit the rubber bungs to the screen ! This should prevent the cracking .
Yes - there are rubber rings in each of the holes, we're they not fitted originally?

This was the state of the top holes in my standard screen when I swapped for the GSA screen at 2000 miles. The rubber grommets were in place. The cracks weren't visible until the screen was removed, so maybe most of them are like this?
That's a standard problem... you've been washing it haven't you?
If you check the manual you should only be using purest Angel Tears to clean you bike otherwise you invalidate the warranty
at least that was the way it was with the Hexheads
Interesting - I wonder if the holes are moulded in or drilled afterwards. Is seems as though there are a lot of stresses in the plastic, you can see 'rainbow' colours in the screen even without a polariser.

I am doing my best to get rid of the flies, there are now a lot less since my return trip from Yorkshire last weekend.
Thats part of the character sir,they all do that
Did they re fit the torx screws with a 1/2" cracker bar?
Mine has lasted 6k miles and was ok,now changed for a short Puig screen .
