Description of the problem | I've noticed the windshield glass is extremely susceptible to rock chipping from very small stones, as if the glass is extremely brittle. The chipping, mostly tiny pockets about 1/16" max in the surface of the outer glass, occurs during normal highway driving and especially on "freeways". Although my report date is 10/10/19, the chipping has been going on for at least two years. |
