    I wouldn't report that crack. It's definitely from a rock or something. As stated above id be more concerned about what's going on with the front rim, if that's a leaking seal in needs immediate attention.

    Oh looked like calking to me , from the looks only one rim on your outfit is it safe to drive.
    California would strap yo legs for that rim condition , its even on there side of the scale , now if you was up here in Wisconsin there on the other side.
    Happy Trails

    Sound to me like you need to learn how to back up ..better
    Question.How do you break a hood mirror while backing up unless you side swipe a object ?
