Broken windshield number 45607

Ok, so i havent broken that many...but the numbers probably gettin that close. this is my first broken one. :(

So how should I go about getting this dealt with. Im gonna give Lauderdale MINI a call...but I dont wanna deal with the dreaded pen test. Is there any service bulletin or anything I can bring up to make sure they'll handle it without any problems? Grrrr...

By now, I think it's well established that the windshields break without an impact. If the cracks starts in the lower corner and goes up and over from there, I don't think they will give you a problem.

I'm still on my first windshield, but I know a couple of people who are on their third in less than a year.
