@kshivu83: I suggest you read the question before accusing the poster of laziness. To clarify:
1. Is it a legal requirement to get a police report, even if there has been no accident? As I said, I suspect that the crack is the result of a defect, as there has been no collision and there is no sign of a chip on the windshield.
2. If it is not a legal requirement (simply Mitsubishi policy, perhaps), are there other garages who can fit a Mitsubishi windshield, preferably for less than the 2000QR+ quoted by Mitsi?
In answer to your question regarding why I think that this is a waste of time: I see no benefit in burdening the police with requests from reports when there has been no accident or crime. I would rather see the traffic police enforcing the law than processing worthless paperwork. I also do not want to take time off work so that I can spend hours waiting in a police station for a piece of paper.
