Sounds almost like a class-action lawsuit in the works against Toyota if this doesn't get fixed soon. I can't afford a new windshield every week for the next few years, and I let the dealership know this. If anyone else has had their windshield cracked, let's pull our resources together and see what we can do here.
Late to the party, but I'm in too - haven't finished reading the thread to see where it ended... 2 months after I bought my new FJ, a small rock on the interstate put a nice spider web crack dead center of the windshield. A patch kit seems to be preventing spread of the cracks, but it does seem to be an inferior windshield - especially considering the target applications for this vehicle.

Let me know if I can join/help/scream at anyone :-)
