Well it happened. I read a post on how many winshields have been changed by all the H2 drivers here and secretly smiled to myself and rejoiced in the fact mine had not broken yet. The wife called me this morning and a rock cracked it. So off to the insurance company I go.

Hi,
I had an 8" curvilinear crack from passenger A-pillar repaired a couple of months ago.

Count me in and keep us all posted here on the forum! I have had 2 windshields and 3 cracks. My current windshield is cracked and has been repaired but does appear to be spreading out. So I know another replacement will have to occur soon. I think what most of us are upset about is that the windshield is not some type of reinforced glass that is able to stand up to the force that rocks and etc. puts on an upright windshield. Just my opinion, but it would make sense to me that if the glass is going to catching more force due to the upright angle then the glass needs to be made stronger to be able to accept the greater force. This seems like it would be logical design to me but I'm no engineer!

Well, you need 17+ individuals reporting windshield replacements to get 1% of this Forum. But I would think this is a fairly good cross section for a poll.
And TBarrow needs to quit driving behind gravel trucks.

Gee, sorry to hear that. The vertical position certainly makes the H2 more susceptible. I bet the number of people who have had cracks is up to nearly 1%.

Alright folks, keep the reports coming. If I have a sufficient number (much more than 1% of this list) I will send GM/Hummer a nastygram and try to get something going. Car companies just hate the prospect of a class action, and it does seem to me that designing a vehicle without taking into account that a pebble may hit the windshield is a design error. Please be specific with your reports. Did it crack and have to be replaced or did it just "star" so that it could be repaired, and how much did the replacement cost? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Dude, give me a break. Not everything needs to be solved with a lawyer.
The windshield has made semi vertical so that it would resemble the H1. The H1 has a vertical windshield so that planes flying overhead do not see a reflection of the sun off of the windshield.
I think Hummer did a good job of keeping the look of the H1, while trying to give it as much of a slant as posslbe to help with Aerodynamics, and yes... rocks...
Had they put a normal slant on the windshield, everyone would complain that it doesn't look like a Hummer... Just like the complaints already mentioned about the H3 windshield. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
