I got a HUGE crack going down the interstate..Dealer replaced it for $800..my insurance company was not happy with that cause they said they could have had it done for $400..they paid up anyway with a $100 deductable.

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

I travel 140+ miles per day at 80+ miles per hour. 1st week - chip, next day crack, replace, less than 2 weeks later, crack, I gave up and live with the cracks.

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.

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...

Yeah, the dealers just call the same company that the insurance companies use and mark it up more.

Chips? Or is it just normal sand pitting?

I am on my 3rd windshield and it now has a new spider chip. It will no doubt grow but at this point I'm sure there will be another chip or crack coming to speed things up. I'll live with them for awhile now.

I just did over 1,000 miles between going to Tellico and back. As far as I know, no chips but will have to see after cleaning the bugs off 
I did get hit by a mirror off an big Chevy dually coming down 75 yesterday though. He had a blowout and the tire just ripped apart. The tread flew up and tore his driver's side mirror right off. Another vehicle hit it, sending it right at my windshield. Didn't even chip it

Got smacked with a rock the other day. No crack or chip, but it did put a good scratch in the windshield.

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
