Windshield Rock chips
#11
Greg has two currently, one has been there for about 4 years the other about 2. The second one was on my commute home on the highway and there is a left turn that merges from three to two lanes and there was a dump truck that kicked up a rock and I kid you not I saw it hit and chip the windshield. Kinda scary but hasn't grown so I am not worried.

Every car I've ever owned has gotten a stone without the first month I've owned it, except the HHR. I've had it several years and the glass is still perfect. Instead, I had a tree limb go through the sidewall of a tire in the first month.

In 25 years driving Ford Sierra, Ford Fiesta and Mitsubishi Colt, I never had visible rock chips, let alone having to replace a windshield. Maybe I was lucky.
In 3 years driving my HHR (same to similar road conditions as before), I have caught at least three clearly visible rock chips and had to replace the windshield.
Maybe bad luck, maybe windshield angle, maybe airflow, maybe windshield rigidity?
