This is one of those cases where I like being in the minority

The windshield Gods have been kind to me so far, no hits yet.
I hope I haven't pissed them off with this

Regardless of the windshield, I don't think I want anything to do with the "Crack Club"

I refused to answer so I wouldn't jinx myself. Didn't work. 
I just got a chip this morning. Right in the line of sight on the DS too!

I'm not sure how it works but there is actually a formula in the replacement glass forecasting processes of a company I used to work with that projected requirements based on the number of vehicles sold and the angle(slope)of the windshield. It's based on the energy transfer when an object strikes the glass. The more verticle the windshield the more enrgy transfered. My old Suzuki Samuri (20 yrs ago)was an awesome little rig but it went through 2-3 windshields a year.

Upper right spider like chip looking to take the entire window out over time! Gonna look at a fix, but with the pits I already have in the window, I'm thinking a new window is in my near future.
Instead of sanding the roads when it snows, why don't they just prohibit all but Hummers on the highways! All this sand is getting me down, and is lookin' to be a major pane!

From what I've read in other posts, dealer ripped you off for that price.

Just got back from the chip guy.they did a bad job It is less noticable but I seen good jobs this is not one.They said it wont spread so thats most important.Its behind mirror so Ill wait for a few more chips and replace windshield down the road.I couldnt get a good pic of repair because of trees I need a open sky.I did notice several nicks on windshied,so this will be a recuring issue.All said at least I can live with it I am reluctant to do a windshied change before its a year old.All I know if I did less than good work I couldnt look the person in the eye.No one cares I will not go back to that glass shop. All island glass larkfield rd east northport NY

Just like my old YJ you have to expect the worst with a flat windshield. Just got my H3 and went to the mountain to learn how to snowboard and picked up two chips on the way back. Looks just like the picture above...

Chips? Or is it just normal sand pitting?
