Rock chips on the Windshield!

I have had my Z for ~8 months now and have about that many rock chips on my windshield! WOW. The good thing though is they are all pinhead sized

Default Rock chips on the Windshield!

I have had my Z for ~8 months now and have about that many rock chips on my windshield! WOW. The good thing though is they are all pinhead sized and have not webbed or spread to a crack. They are all small. So I am thinking I am either very lucky (knock on wood) or the glass on the Z is very strong! I am amazed I have not had more damage than that. The sweet spot seems to be in the dead center of my windshield! I have 4 dings within a 2" radius! LOL

Just got one this morning. Atleast it's not in my line of site. Wish there was a way to remove them...

2" radius?? (was 3" before the ninja edit).

next thing you know it's 1" radius.

Glass repair companies may be able to fill the spots. I've seen this done and you can barely tell the spot ever existed.

Well I realized it was closer to 2 inches as they are eerily clustered very close together!

Wow -- Nissan really cheaped out on the glass. I've had a few too and I just had them filled. Your insurance should cover it and waive the deductable.
