Crack in wind shield glass after fitment

IN MY CAR I HAVE RECENTLY CHANGED MY BROKEN WIND SHIELD GLASS. TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND THAT IT GOT CRACK AFTER SOME TIME WITHIN 3 HRS WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANYTHING.
i have been told by somebody that poor quality of PVB layer shrinks with time. i had fitted newly produced glass.

DOES THE PVB LAYER SHRINKS with the passage of time?


Could anybody answer me?

How can I source a frameless glass extension?

My partner and I are currently renovating an old building, where a run-down conservatory currently joins the main house to the outbuildings. We'd like to replace this with a frameless glass structure. As there's a brick back wall which joins the two buildings, we only need glass for a roof opening of 4m x 2m, and a front opening of 2m x 2m. I'm having trouble finding a company for this at a resonable price. So far I have contacted GlasSpace. Any suggestions gratefully received!
