Default Cracked windshields

I've owned my 2001 S2000 since April.

Rock came up ant bit me, leaving a 10 inch crack near the rearview.

Replaced last Tuesday with OEM glass.

Today, another 8 inch crack, right in front of the drivers seat.

Being replaced with OEM glass next week.

Anyone else having this kind of problem?

some folks have had this problem and believe the honda windshield is soft. But I have 3800+ miles and don't have a chip. I try not to follow traffic up front too close and I try not to drive too fast.

I agree with Shing.

I've only got 2,500 miles, but no cracks or chips.

Windshields come and go here in Wyoming. I wish it were as easy to get rid of chips in the hood or front bumper as it is in the windshield. $300 puts you back to good as new. No such luck for the bumpers and hood.

I think soft, thin glass is helpful both for safety and vehicle performance.

yes, I have a crack, only after a few months of owning it, I have yet to replace it but will soon with PPG glass. the OEM glass is said to be a little bit softer - so check into alternatives since this is a recurring event for you.
