Has anyone noticed Crossfire windshields having a greater propensity to chip?

I've had a lot of classic-cars over the past 35 years, and still own a couple I bought more than 30 years ago. One such example is a 1966 beauty that I have driven DAILY for the past 15 years, unless I was laying it up a few days for improvements. A couple of them are a Mustang GT, and more recent Jaguars I own from the late 1980's.

Of these cars, all having their original glass, there is only one chip among all; which I bought the car with it (the daily driver) - of the combined lot of about 8 cars currently in my stable.

I've owned my SRT-6 now for 2.5 years so far, a 32,000 mile example, which originally had 28,000 on it when I bought it, and yet upon getting it there were a myriad of chips, and since that time the windshield is peppered with a few more specks and chips, to the point I can't make any sense of it.

I don't drive it on the highway much, and of the times I have, I avoid following trucks and construction haulers. However, a few weeks ago I watched a minor pebble kicked up by a 4X4 with monster-tires as it happened, left a poignant chip, whereby I know without a doubt had that minor pebble hit any of my other cars, it would have deflected no more than had it been a moth.

Has anybody noticed this as a commonality? Right now it's about the only thing that doesn't look new about the car. Even the front fascia, hood, and the headlight lenses are virtually chip-free compared to the windshield.

On mine heading into the sun it looked like it was sandblasted. I had Safelite come out and replace it. So for $206 installed all is good.

 

I've had 4 Crossfires and never had any problem with that.

I've also had 4, and can't say that they are any worse than my other vehicles. My truck seems to get more than most.......
