Outback

  • 225 miles
I just purchased a 2016 ob 2.5I premium. I have had the car for a week and a half. On Friday I decided to wash my car for the first time. I started on the drivers side, raised the drivers side wiper, went around the front of the car and raised the passenger side wiper. I then washed around the car. When I went to put the drivers side wiper down it hit the passenger side wiper and slapped it down onto the windshield. An hour later I noticed a crack coming from the passenger side. I did the "pen test" and found a small depression under the wiper. No rock hit my windshield, it would have had to pass through the wiper. Thats impossible. Because I was just freaking amazed that it could of happened I raised the passenger wiper and let it come down on the windshield to see what would happen. It put a second crack in the windshield, not one emanating from the first but a whole new crack. Im taking it to my dealer tomorrow.
