Rock Auto is usually a no-go for me on large items (windshield, fender, etc) because of huge shipping costs.
For example, the windshield that Oldblue showed above is ( in the US) $169 + $197 shipping to my house in New York!!
I had a winshield replaced at my expense a few years ago and I think it was $200 at a local shop.

I just checked my 2011 2LT and it has the GM logo.
Seems to me that some where a while back the issue of defective windshields came up and after complaining they were getting replaced under Warranty ? Or?
They had little sparkles all thru the windshield when the light was just right.
This one of mine has that problem and so have most of the 9 prior ones.
Definitely a major defect that they did not catch. A Hush Hush Replacement program?
I did not complain because I thought for sure I would take as rock first and then let the insurance pay but out the 10 HHR's I have not had a rock do the dirty deed yet. Lots of hits but just a very small chip in the glass each time.

No, not a defect. Look closely at the outside, I'll bet it is pitted.
For some reason every car I have owned in Va gets pitted windshield in a years time. I think it is the type of sand they use on the roads here. But, nobody else seems to have the problem, I do a lot more miles than the average driver.
