Default Windshield Help

Hello All,
Woke up this morning to about a 6" crack from the edge of passenger side pillar toward center. Sad morning. Local glass guys asking if rain sensor and heater in windshield. How would I confirm that? Thanks

If you have auto lights and windscreen wipers then you will have the sensors also.

CRHINO, if you have the auto wipers, you have the rain sensor. As for the heater, look for the wire grid in the windshield and a heater button on the console. If your car is an original Canadian model, it's likely to have the heated windshield.
Let me know how you make out, I have a similar crack in the exact same spot on my XKR

Just be aware that a crack in that area of the windshield could be from rust in the A pillar. When they pull the windshield you'll find out if that's the problem or not.
