Cracked sunroof glass on Honda CRV

I discovered a crack this morning which is over a foot long and reported this to my insurers. I am in Greece on holiday with the car and will not return to the UK for a few weeks. The insurers say it's OK to wait until I get back as the glass won't break. I'm not sure how they can be so confident and I feel rather uncomfortable about their response as I am worried about the glass breaking - probably when I'm miles from anywhere.

Should I be concerned?

  • The glass roof on your CRV is made of laminated glass and as such wont shatter or break into pieces.
    Laminated glass is made up of 2 pieces of glass with an interlayer in between you have probably only broke 1 layer of glass and the other is fine.
    The chances are when you phoned your insurance company on the glass helpline you got put through to their recommended repairer.

    I wouldnt worry about the crack it may get bigger whilst driving or sitting in the sun but it will only go to the edge and thats it.
