used to have a pic on my pc of the fail area on a windscreen. can't find it.
sounds like you'll be ok, as long as it doesn't start creeping across the rest of the screen.

Heard a massive bang on the motorway but all seemed ok. Noticed it this morning.
Oh well, new windscreen time. Dont think my insurance covers it either.
Cheers mate.
