The windshield sitting nearly vertical doesnt help with flying rocks either. I have the same crack, luckily in Florida you don't pay a deductible!

at 11K miles on it I have 1 chip/crack about 8 inches long, I have one quarter size chip on the far right passenger side of the winshield with a 3inch crack and a 16 inch crack. then lastly I have 2 more small chips one above the rear view mirror and one about centered across from the driver's left shoulder.

4 chips and/or cracks with 11K miles. Anyone beat this record lol?

I don't have any cracks YET, but I have 5-6 pretty nice stone chips. Thats after one year and ~20k miles. I figure its just a matter of time before I'm replacing it.

The flat, nearly vertical windshield on a Jeep is a rock magnate. I replaced my first windshield after about 7 months.
