Self Cracking Windshield C70 2002

I am just getting ready to have my windshield replaced for the second time.

Last fall when the weather got cold, the windshield cracked starting under the passenger side molding, at the door post, about 4 inches below the roof. I waited about two days before I went to the dealer, and by then the crack had run about 5 inches horizontally toward the middle of the windshield. The dealer claimed "I must have been hit by a stone" and I will admit that about 4 inches along the crack, it had changed directions and looked like a stone stike.

Last week the windshield cracked in the same way, at almost the same location, but on the driver's side. This time I was smart enough to drive stright to the dealer when the crack was still about 1 inch long. Now I am in a fight between the dealer and the glass company they recommended.

I saw some leaky windshield complaints, but has anybody else heard of glass cracking like this on a C70?
