Does the crack begin right at one of the tenax pegs at the top corner?

Subject: [TR] TR3A Broken new windscreen

I recently purchased a new windscreen from California (my old windscreen

was very pitted), got it home to Canada, and had it installed in the 
frame by my local auto glass shop.

After attaching the framed windcseen to the stanchions, as I was 
mounting it to the body (post TS60000) with the bolts, the windscreen 
cracked on the drivers side. The next day, as I was attaching the top, I

got a matching crack on the passenger side.  Both these cracks start at 
the exact middle of the curve between the side moulding and the top 
moulding, and go down and across the windscreen to almost the same 
distance from the sides. They look like twins but one is about 11" from 
the one side, and the other is 12" from the other side.

Any thoughts on why this happened and who should I go after?? 

I am also sending some pictures and questions to Moss to see if they 
have any thoughts or have had supplier issues.
