Default Tough windshield

While in Boise today to pick up the Gold Crossfire after an invisible Bra had been installed we took a rock strike on the windshield of my Red Crossfire.

It came from a truck going the opposite direction from us and bounced once before striking my windshield almost dead center in both directions. It was a fist-sized rock and left 3 small pits about 2" from top to bottom. It was foggy out so I don't know if full sunlight will cause a glaring or distortion problem with the pits or not. I'll get it checked out by a Glass Shop tomorrow.

I feel very lucky the rock didn't come through and strike my wife. It could have done some serious harm to her had it come through. The impact noise was terrible! My ears buzzed and whistled for three hours afterwards.

Thanks for making it so tough Daimler-Chrysler!

Jim
