What if you were driving with them on, in fog of course Robbo, on a cold winters day and it started raining, would you be happy if they shattered.  |
In fog, the air is damp so there will be a cooling film on the lens. Also IMO rain will be less of a shock to the glass than a hose pipe.
As an aside JP you have been driving the car round for a year in the area around Gravesend, then with all the roadworks on the A2 could stone damage have weakened the glass (not sure about the physics wheather the glass will weaken) so the hose was just the straw that broke the camel's back rather than the whole cause.
