Surely the 'No crack' voting option implies a 'not yet ' ...

A crack appeared on the windshield of my brand new Quartermaster… Overnight. I read this thread and it seems a known issue :( Now I get to test Ineos Service…

Update nearly 3 months after the crack appear: it’s still there.
An out of space call this morning with IA Belgium reseller Hedin:
- No news yet … the manager is still on holidays for two weeks … we don’t know the exact process to contact Ineos … typically they don’t want to take this on warranty …
Me: Have you contacted Ineos yet?
- Not sure … your file is not in our system anymore…

What on earth is this? I’ve been designing service centers for the past 20 years: I’ve seen bad ones but this is another level…
I don’t know if anyone has a direct contact to Ineos so I can escalate this but this is absolutely unacceptable!

@Jean Mercier had a reputation as the Belgian enforcer 😎 perhaps he can weigh in?
 
Ok …..
Considering myself quite lucky so far but had to get out the fixit kit from RainX today after a small stone started a crack propagation which actually became slightly worse during repair! Anyway here hoping it stems the growth for a while. Can’t say I’m overconfident as the crack is still very much visible. 🙄
The last pic shows just how lucky I’m feeling as I was unaware of this much larger chip off the edge phew 😮‍💨

These kits are only for fixing chips so they don't form a crack, fingers crossed it holds for you

I’ve used the same kit and it’s held up for over 18 months now. Admittedly mine was a large crazed chip in the screen. Still clearly visible but not spreading
