I know the title sounds weird 
I was replacing my cracked (with a big hole) rain tray MKIV rain tray removal . I removed it easily without any problems at all. However, there was a lot of dirt beneath it, so I decided to clean it up next morning. I cleaned the area, windshield, drain holes. Then I changed water with cold tap one to rinse stuff. When I returned back with my new rain tray I found a long "nice" crack about 4-5" long
Is it possible that I could somehow damaged windshield or was there probably some predisposition before? I thought windshield was pretty sturdy thing and should tolerate some temperature changes especially for water.
Are 4-5" cracks from the very bottom repairable or should I replace entire windshield? I feel so bad... tried to save some many by replacing rain tray on my own, and now I have to fix the windshield
