Default mysterious cracks...

While washing my car yesterday I noticed that my blinker lens on both sides of my car had small cracks (near the inside edge next to the screened air inlets on the front end). My car has never been wrecked and it only has 3500 miles. There is no rock chip either, so I am at a loss as to why they would be forming cracks? Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Certainly my cam isn't causing this, it shakes the car, but come on...LOL!

Well, here is what I was told...
About 70% of the C5s have cracks in the lens. The edge of the hole the lens fits into presses on that spot HARD.
Anyone else here have cracks?

Mine have some hair line crackes,but i think there from when my nose scrapes and puts a little extra pressure on the lens as the bottom of the nose flexs slightly.
