Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - is there a rock-chip resistant windshield?

I'd say wait until it cracks and becomes a distraction, as this will not be the last chip you receive. Then replace it quickly.

I've always heard that replacement glass is even thinner than OEM, but I have always had better luck with replacement glass. So, who knows? Maybe my driving improves after being hit with the replacement cost of windshields. I dunno. I drive 80mph+ every day, though, thus increasing my odds of cracking my glass. It's part of ownership and freeway driving, I think.
