Bullshyt Glass? Tell ya what. Melt down some glass, and make two equal sheets. Slip some sticky plastic between the two sheets of glass and secure them together. Make sure the finished product is flawless.

Then, mount the glass in your garage, hanging on one side, with some space behind it. Next, line up your tennis ball launcher so it's aimed at the glass and fill the launcher with a bunch of rocks of various makes, models, shapes and sizes. Put the launcher on 'medium' or on the middle notch. Fire up the launcher. Wait 10mins.

If your glass comes out without scratches or chips and you can bulk manufacture it for less than the cost of normal 'glass', then i'll buy your windshield. So will every major vehicle manufacturer on the planet. This aint a Nissan problem, it's physics. It's how stuff works on this planet.

No Paint anymore is safe against rock chips it's all water based paint, should you want a clear coat of tuff protection paint use the "Endura "www.endura.ca brand Clear Coat it's an industrial strength urethane,, on white it may /er the the color some.. I have used this on my other Z's it is tuff like glass..80,000 miles I had 3 nicks in the paint my windshield needed to be replaced, the wife said I should have clear coated the windshield too.. Shines like crazy and super tuff. I hardly ever waxed my Z.
My Car club will vouch for the look and toughness

You know this thread is nearly 3 years old

If you want to discuss rock chips may I suggest counting toe nail clippings

Not really a Nissan issue.....Most glass is soft these days, and the roads are dirtier. Happens to most cars..

Roads are dirtier...and so are the dump trucks that drop 20lbs of sand and gravel every time they go over a bump or pothole, which are more common now than before.

Infrastructure Fail.
