I am absolutely convinced that this is a known and common defect.
As I write this, the windshield is being replaced on my 2006 SC430 after a crack appeared spontaneously (without impact) last week. The guy who is doing the job said he has a 2005 SC430 scheduled for later in the day. A little over a year ago, I had to have the windshield replaced on a 2004 SC430. Three strikes right there.
I just wish I had read this thread before I filed an insurance claim to get this handled. Next time (and I am beginning to believe there will be a next time, unfortunately), I will take this back to the dealer and insist it be done under warranty.)
My 2006 windshield cracked also and Lexus did replace it. About a year later, i had a stone hit the windshield. In less than an hour later, the windshield cracked again. this time, Lexus would not replace.
