>My Infiniti's back brakes are new, I used the best parts and took all the precautions to keep them clean going together, but they squeal in reverse especially in the morning. What did I do wrong?

Nine times out of ten the noise from the back disc pads is vibration of the entire pad inside the confines of the knuckle. The rear pads are significantly smaller than the front pads so they are prone to resonant vibration that is perceived as a loud squeal at very low speeds and very light pedal pressure. The most likely cause for this is EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE between the pad in the knuckle guides, either from wear or careless cleaning that removed metal from the knuckle and left a large enough gap between the knuckle support structure and the brake pad. Even having the shims in place and properly installed does not affect the likelihood of the noise, because the tolerance between the shim and pad is close when the assembly is manufactured - and as miles accumulate and brake jobs are performed, this clearance gets big. The shims are there only to eliminate rattles, and cannot contain high frequency vibration of the pads, which is essentially what you hear every morning. The fix is to make all surfaces in contact with the pad flat and capable of distributing the load of the pad against it. Plus, the clearance needs to be *minimized*, not merely big enough to allow new pads to be hung - that may be too much clearance. This is a critical added precaution in a brake job, because a standard brake job involves removing rust and debris but not actual material from the knuckle. Rust is ultimately the cause of all the conditions that make the squeal happen, because removing the rust puts the clearance beyond the manufacturer's spec for quiet operation.

>What caused that crack on the bottom of the windshield? No stone chip anywhere.

The crack that starts at the base of the windshield and runs across or up one side is a thermal crack that is typically caused by having your AC blowing cold while sending air to the top of the dash (Defrost). Many older cars had AC controls that made it inherently feel 'wrong' to set this combination, by having sliding k***s set very close together so they could be moved together. If you look closely, if you move both slides together from Vent to Defrost, you are also moving the temp from cold to hot. This helped operators to avoid inadvertently turning the defroster on with the temp set all the way cold. (See the pic)

Newer cars have their windshield glued to the body with very rigid urethane rubber. The glass is actually part of the structure and is highly temperature sensitive. Add this to the modern design of AC controls which don't feature those nifty slides anymore.

Not many people know that Defrost *turns on the air conditioner* on cars so equipped - the AC dehumidifies hot air before it can get to the glass and fog it up. So, when the weather gets hot, you might set the temp down to turn the AC on, -- but if that refrigerated air hits the hot glass of the windshield, BOOM. Crack. Never use the defroster at full-cold.
