Hey everyone! I was driving from SLC to Denver today and a rock flew up from a semi and immediately cracked my windshield in Wyoming...That isn't the bad part...the bad part is that this will be my THIRD replacement and my car turns 3 next month. Is it just me? Or does anyone else have these kinds of windshield problems? (I know Utah is the worst with rocks on the road). At $1300 - $1500 a pop...this is getting expensive! She's a 2017 Sport Hybrid Advance with 57k miles on the clock!

I have a 19 MDX hybrid with 14,000 miles living in the southwest (ABQ, NM). It is hard to find a vehicle around here without a chip/star/crack in the windshield driving on the interstate at 75-85 mph in the sandy southwest. Jacked up windshields is as normal as UV damaged headlights or faded paint on cars +5 years old. I'm trying something different and put PPF on the front windshield to see if that helps with chips/cracks/stars and long-term pitting (PPF+Ceramic coating). No road-trips yet with the windshield PPF on my MDX and RLX. So far, no issues with Acurawatch cameras or RLX HUD functions driving around town.

Never worried before about glass repair/replacement on my 06 TSX, 08 RDX, or 11 MDX because it was so cheap to do it (local shop glass replacement came with lifetime chip repair). Don't want to take a chance of a damage windshield causing Acurawatch or HUD on my RLX to work incorrectly.

Many years ago we went thru 3 windshields in less than 6 months on a 78 GrandPrix. It happens. Pay the insurance deductable and move on. What else can you do. Heck up in Canada broken windshields are the norm in winter.

Virtually every window in my vehicles that was hit by a flying rock from a truck resulted in a new windshield. either an immediate big crack or one that spread quickly. I have a $100 deductible comp policy, knowing sooner or later I will need a new windshield.

I avoid rock chips by giving a large distance between my car and the one ahead of me.

I think bug deflectors make sense. I used it on other cars and find that it changes the wind flow pattern on the front of the car. Not sure if there is one out there though...
