Damn it! The second time I have to replace the front windshield!
1st windshield had to be replaced the first week of ownership.
Last year, I had to fix a rock chip (a 1mm surface chip).
Today, I found 2 6"-cracks spreading from that surface chip.
I have to go through the glass shop warranty department, if judged unrepairable, I have to pay another $500 deductible!!
I will be on my 3rd windshield!!

That sucks.
I'm on my 3rd. First week of ownership a huge rock came off a gravel hauler and completely smashed the passenger side. Second replacement it came back from the dealer with a giant crack starting from the lower driver's side.

I was told the the glass shop "may" credit the cost of the chip repairs to the cost of the replacement...
Still I am

Now if the Glass shop credit me some $100 than I have to pay 475 or less for the new one... so insurance may not be involved at all!

My ex-wife's Integra was on its 3rd windshield after 4 months, I think.

I got a rock bounce off the windshield on Feb. 4th...dime-size damage...three days ago when I came out of work it spread about 18" in each direction . Safelite is coming tomorrow with its "Mobile" service to replace the windshield. It seems there are too many CL-TL owners who have windhields being cracked by a little pebble or something .....Our windshields seem to be way too fragile compared to other automakers ... ***question *** is the radio antenna and "outside temp display" sensor a part of the windshield??

oh yeah, forgot to mention that it started to spread the morning after I had to use the front defroster on the really cold windshield (it was 18 degress in NYC that day)

Yep...I came and found the windsihels with 3 craks spreading opposite ways...
It's also Safelite who did the pin-point chip repairs last year and now I have go throw them again for a replacement ( most likely )
I concer the windshield is VERY fragile...
The rafio antena is on the rear windshield and the outsife temp sensor is on the front of the radiator..
Here are some pics:
