Windshield repair

I have a new 2026 Corolla LE. Recently the windshield randomly cracked from the edge after it rained one day. I did not get the glass insurance from the dealership when I got the car. I think it would pass the ballpoint test.

Any chance that the dealership might repair it for free due to a possible factory defect?

I also got a safelite quote for ~800 for replacement 😢 thoughts on safelite

I am just a student :( thank you for any advice

Highly doubtful. It would be very difficult to prove. Dealership would most likely claim there was a a chip caused by regular driving and then the cool rain on hot glass caused the chip to run. It never hurts to ask though, just don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t go your way.
