Since we're taking the Spridget to Ontario on Friday (for a race at Shannonville), I figured I'd wash it.
Shiny cars *go* faster!
Anyway, I wash the windshield with a bucket of warm water and soap....then I spray it off with the hose....
.....and the windshield cracks!
This turned out to be a *free* repair, after I crawled around in my basement and found the '66 Sprite windshield that I've been saving since 1982....thus rewarding my "pack-rat" behavior, and ensuring that I'll throw out even *less* Brit-junk in the future.
I assume that the cracking is due to the temperature differential of the water in the bucket and the hose water....but the bucket-water wasn't boiling and the hose-water wasn't real cold, so I'm kind of surprised. Anyone ever have this happen? (there was no cracks or faults in the windshield up to that point)
