Hey Guys and gals, if any,
I am new to this forum. Just discovered you yesterday. I have been looking for other H2 owners because I have had some problems that the dealer told me were unique to me. Of course I am sad to see that any of you are having difficulties but I am very happy to see that I am not crazy or particularly unique. I am on my 3rd windshield in less than 9 months. Currently, I have 3 large rock chips in the one that I have. I kept asking the dealer if anyone else was having this difficulty but they said that I was a fluke of statistics. I have been using my engineering background to analyze the glass. So far the only thing that I have come up with is that the front glass is a compound curve in that it is curved in two directions, top to bottom as well as side to side. I am not sure yet as to how the Mexican company is tempering the glass but I am working on it. The main issue of course is, If you look at other common front glass configurations on X vehicles, the rake is more extreme but another issue is that if you have a compound curve glass and a rock does strike, even the slightest give would reduce the stress on the glass. In a compound curve there would have to be compression instead of flex. Compression and glass is not going to happen. This is a theory, any comments? If true, it appears that we stuck. Don't get me wrong, I reallllllyyyyy like my truck but something has got to give.

By the way, you can add me to the keyed list. I am thinking about having some large magnetic signs made that say GREEN PEACE and sticking them to the side of my truck to hide the "to the metal" gouges. Wouldn't thay fry their ass?
