Angry Any other 08/09 XB Windshield Stress Cracks?

I read previously about the stress cracks mostly on the 06. I was told that the problem was fixed with the new body style. I have an 08. It has less than 22,000 miles. To make a long story short, an L shaped crack majically appeared on my windshield while it was parked in the garage. Does anyone else have a crack on their windshield on the 2nd Generation?

No problems here, although I did replace the windshield after a minivan launched a rock at it and cracked it pretty good.

Any chance you took a rock hit that you didn't notice until it grew? The initial crack on my windshield was less than a few inches, but after sitting in the heat of summer, it grew another foot.
