how is plexi-glass or plastic compared to OEM windshield?

i just have no clue........ in terms of visibility........... sounds like it would be more "chip resistant" but with visibility issues

Got one, about the size of an average "twinky's" fingernail, in the lower, right-hand side of my my windshield, since 2008. Since it's passed inspection for 2 years, it'll be there until I notice an increase in its size, or until it doesn't pass inspection. Got big things to be concerned about, to worry 'bout the inevitable. BTW, plexiglass is easily scratched; stick to good old safety glass, dude.

come on people if it's just a chip have it filled before it spiderwebs. I got a chip 4 mins later I had a 5 inch crack that ran to the edge of the windshield. some of the epoxy's they use now harden clear and do a good job of making it not look like it's there

oh and for the lexan, it will crack overtime all by itself due to age, turn yellow, and in thevent of an accident you will die

there is clear guard you can place over the windshield and it comes in a pack of 5 or so that you stick on your windshield and when it's time to toss it, you peel it off and you have 4 more left on the windshield.

alot of porsche guys have it.
