I have had my H3 for a couple of weeks now and no chips until 3 days ago. Some jerk peeled out right in front of me from a red light and threw a piece of gravel up into my windsheild....UGH!!! I took it to GlassDoctor and they repaired it quick...owner told me of some new technology that he went to Colorado to learn about which is supposed to help keep chips from occuring around the edges of the windshield. He said that 85% of all cracks in windshields occur from chips that originate at some edge of the windshield. He said that is because the manufacturers make the strongest point toward the middle area to help in crash situations. This new stuff is similar to kevlar and has the potential to keep chips from ever occurring around the edge of the glass. It only takes about ten minutes to apply it and it costs about 175 bucks. Really considering getting it put on my H3!
PS...hit a bird going 70mph right at the top edge (driver side)...'bout crapped my pants but my windshield managed to stay in tact with no damage! Bird did not make it...but...maybe he was another assisted suicide attempt!?!
