At the Glass Doctor again...

[kdoublep]

This is my 2nd windshield in 2 years. I drove a 1998 Trans AM for 20 years without a scratch on the windshield. Aerodynamics!

Would a weather tech bug and stone deflector help?

If the bug deflector lays flat against the hood, as many do these days, it will not be very effective keeping rocks off the windshield.
It will, however, keep the front of your hood from getting paint chips and dents.
A nice, thick vertical sheet of plexiglass in front of the windshield would work.
But that's illegal.

PPF across the windshield

They did a great job for the 2nd time. Mopar glass again.

Agreed I have gotten 2 chips in less than 6 months and has ZERO on any prior vehicle including my 2020 Rebel.

I stopped counting the rock chips after the 6th one.
Will have it replaced if the cops give me a repair order due to a vertical crack on the drivers side.

Rock chips in Idaho are considered part of the paint job. No matter how far back of the trucks someone manages to kick up a rock. Even with snow on the ground they manage to find my window. Safe Lite to the rescue.

I must be lucky with this Ram. Currently at 65K without so much as a chip on the factory windshield. I had a Titan that had three windshields in the same time frame.

The problem is, the roads not being taken care of, and trucks dropping stuff. Debris everywhere these days.

I think I have four chips in mine. Have had them all repaired, so haven't spread. Don't want to replace the windshield unless absolutely necessary since I have it tinted.

 

[kdoublep]

Both times it spread faster than I could get it scheduled for repair. Replaced both times.

We change windshields like oil down here in Fla.

I have 2 repaired chips. Northern VA is one giant road construction zone.

So I'm back to the Glass Doctor today for a dime size repair. This is my 3rd OEM windshield and now it has a ding.

 

[kdoublep]

Wow! Glass Doctor didn't charge me to fix it. Said it was warranty since they replaced it in October of this year.

Just luck when it comes to windshields. My F150 before got rock chips that converted to long cracks two years in a row. Lots of little nicks too, very frustrating.

My RAM after 4 years, zero rock chips and only one tiny little nick the size of a pin head far from my field of view. I do my best to drive only on the fast lane, less rocks on the road than the slow lanes. Almost all my big windshield hits has been in the first two right lanes.

It's a dime size and they fixed it but it's not entirely invisible. It will not spread and that was the ultimate goal.

Just FYI The tech said sometimes it doesn't completely disappear. I really did not know that as I have never had just a repair. Always full replacement. It's in the passenger top corner area so I don't even know it exists.
