There is concern, when jacking
There is concern, when jacking up the car, that you do not lift from the corners. The factory jack point is midway between the wheels, minimizing flex. I have heard of owners cracking their windshield when placing a jack under one suspension member and raising the car.
When going over drainage channels when entering a driveway (common in Southern California) I can feel the windshield frame flex relative to the windshield. To try this, open the side window, place your palm on the pillar and your finger tips on the glass and pillar junction. The amount of movement is impressive.
