The crack started from the base of the windshield's right side, right from within the deicing patterns.
I went to dealer, he checked with his pencil, we agreed it could be the deicer/defroster.
He said however it's not covered by standard warranty but if I would buy and install a new one with them it'd be covered for the lifetime of the vehicle.
It seems a little bit strange that original warranty wouldn't cover this, but aftermarket replacements will. Any idea why it's so? What else falls into the same category?
Finally, the fissure completely extended to the left side, terminating again at the base of the windshield, it traveled all the way within 2 inches from bottom. It seems to have settled now, at least it didn't budge for the past 2 weeks. Is it safe to keep my windshield this way? I would replace it, it's just that it doesn't bother me too much, the fissure is really very fine, you'd have to pay attention to see it from outside.
