I've had my MS for less than 2 months and already have several marks/chips in the windshield. Either this is bad luck (possible) or is it possible the MS windshield glass is more susceptible to damage.
Anyone else noticed more than expected chips/marks in their windshields?
I have had several small pits and chips with our MS. I have never had close to this many with other vehicles, and I live in Colorado, home of sand and gravel for winter driving. Then a few weeks ago I was pulling out of the airport parking lot and I hear a tinkling and cracking sound. A 18 inch crack started in the lower left-hand corner at 45 degrees and after 6 inches goes vertical. The car was in the heat while I was out of town, which I have read on the TM forum may be a problem leading to cracking.
I visited the Service Center and they determined the crack was a stress fracture and they're replacing the windshield at their cost.
However, I am still a bit worry about the susceptibility of it to continue to pit and chip. I often wonder if the steep angle is a factor.
