8 windshields in 5 1/2 years on accross 4 cars. Damn, my average is 2 per car and almost 1 1/2 per year. The 8th happened just last night and it is already a 20in crack.

I am not sure what sort bad luck lures little stones onto my windshield(s)...

If anybody got me beat, that will be the first time I welcome the sound of defeat.

 

sorry. 1 year, one windshield, but mine was a stress fracture. no rock chip to start it.
is this a Subaru thing?

 

8 years 1 windshield, and a window. Both were my fault

 

I dont even tailgate... Bad luck I guess...

 

2 windsheilds in 4 months and one side window. (the side window was mostly my fault)

 

4 years 7 cars... 0 windshields, 1 rock chip that was fixed for free.. Unless you count the windshield on my GTI that was completely Shattered, but I technically didn't own the car after that....

 

1 new windshield for each of the 3 cars I've owned in the last 10 years. All of them getting cracked within the first year of ownership. I have yet to fix the one on the Subaru. I'm waiting until all of the rain stops.

 

I think I have you beat. I have owned 7 cars in the last 5 years. Here is my windshield score: STi (0), Xterra (1), Lightning (1), Jeep (3), 4Runner (1), Civic (1), Mustang (2). My theory is that it has nothing to do with luck. The fact that I drive a ton (25-30K per year), combined with flat windshields being exposed to a lot of construction and shoddily repaved roads = happy glass company, unhappy insurance company. My repairs have gotten fewer since I started moving over a lane or 2 when I'm near a big rig and passing them quickly. I've definitely gotten a little paranoid. I think my cars are magnetized or something... The second windshield in my Jeep only lasted 5 days. My wife gets nervous when I drive her Explorer and gets annoyed when I find another rock. My insurance company hates me LOL.

 

I'm not talking about it because I don't want any of the bad juju some of you seem to have.

 

my car was getting it's windshield replaced when i went to the delership to look at it.

that is all

 

Same here... Actually, I pass not only big rigs because of little rock chips but also medium to large pickups since one never knows what can fall off of those. That happened to me too - I almost got killed.

 

in the last 2 years my sti has had 3 new windsheilds(maybe going on 4th,it has chips in it right now),wifes 4runner got a new one,and now the camry also w/ my inlaws, there's 3 windsheilds in the last year

 

I might have won this contest but I would have to fix it when it cracks the first time.

 

Try driving to work on the same road that goes to the gravel quarry

 

white rock/grantline?

i hate that road for rocks!
there is always construction trucks rolling up and down it.
