Stone Chips On Windscreen

[tek_01]

hey all i hav had my 33 for not even 4 weeks and i have already got 2 stone chips (both from different incidents). They are not big, maybe the size of a grain of rice but im wondering why its so easy to chip ? i had an n13 for 6 years and not one stone chip on it...its weird and pissing me off so what are my options?

if i get another windscreen is there any type that is more resistant to chips etc??

where the windscreen is made might have somthing to do with it? when i got a new windscreen for the sprinter i remember the dude telling me that most cars being made overseas (japan, europe etc) he was saying that the glass quality is vastly better from japan and europe compared to the windscreens made in australia. is this the first windscreen that came with the skyline since it was FOB?

does it say nissan on the windscreen?

maybe it's been replaced otherwise to a different one, or your driving into to many little stones lol?

winscreens made in china are shit. Also the glass in 99 - 01 subaru's. It was soft as. Sorry bloke but saying that there is not really that much you can do. All windscreen will break no mater what brand/ where they're made. You can buy windscreens for certiain models(not imports)that are thicker and have uv resistance. But they're more expensive and will still break anyway. My solution is to get a girlfriend who works at a windscreen shop

Man the genuine factory ones are pretty decent I find, I would check to see if it is a factory one or some rubbish used 2nd
