Tonight I went and looked at a 2018 Grand Touring in my area. It's been on the lot for about three months and now I understand why: The windshield has a nice sized divot really low on the windshield, right in the center, where the wipers rest. And there was a vertical crack under that divot traveling down into the plastic trim. Not good. From what the car rep said, the previous owner got fed-up with waiting on Mazda to replace the windshield because they were on back-order forever. So, I'm thinking that this is certainly a point of negotiation in the deal but I have no idea how much a windshield replacement would cost or (and this is probably the more important thing) how difficult it is to replace a windshield on a 2018 CX-9 because it looks like there's electronics at the base of the windshield to support the HID(?). Is this correct? I'll call a local dealer tomorrow to get an estimate on a windshield replacement but I can't imagine that there's a huge backorder. Comments welcomed.
