Yeah that pea gravel is a nightmare...

I have 3-4 hits on my windshield but no cracks yet

I put a new windshield in my '14 3 months after buying it.......

I couldn't find a rock hit, it just split from one end to the other.

My truck has a small rock chip that hit right along the edge and now it is a crack that is spreading across the drivers view. I have glass insurance and it is going to cost me only $100 to replace the windshield or nothing as I will see if the glass company will eat the cost!

Huh? Actually the "socialized" healthcare works pretty good for us. Thanks for asking. Not sure what that has to do with this thread.

With higher wages and "socialized" health care I can afford platinum trucks and 2 windshields a year if necessary.
Makes up for a few rocks on the road....
