Mine cracked the other day while parked up the other day. Was just sitting there and it cracked! I'm assuming its just the heat/air con temp difference caused the problem? Or maybe an existing stress point.

I too want a genuine screen, kinda tempted to have a heated screen fitted at the same time as replacing the old one, might as well see how much it is.

Can you claim under your insurers in Ireland?
If you can make sure the approved glass fitters fit MINI Brand windscreen, not that it makes much difference (I had non MINI glass which was heated fitted in my prev MINI after having a stress fracture)
