Does anyone know of a CHIP/CRACK RESISTANT WINDSHIELD for the s2000.
1) i got a chip about the size of a dime which i quickly got fixed
then
2) I got hit again on the freeway but this time a crack quickly formed. Within a day it was about 6 inches and now its stuck at 9 inches.
Anyways this sux, and i dont know if they can repair such a long crack. If i need to replace the windshield i want to get something more resistant.

I got my first chip two weeks after I got the car, but i was on the passenger side so I let it go. Its now been four years, and I'm going to replace the windshield because the surface is all sandblasted.

this is what u do,
find some kind of frieghtline truck and get thier phone number, truck number, what time and what road. call them up tell them that u were behind them or going to pass or something and tell them that thier truck threw a rock up at ur new glass and put a chip in it.
u might have to push alittle with some truck companies but they will pay for ur glass. that has worked for me and all my friends i tell about.
good luck

If you don't want a rock chip stay further back from the truck. He doesn't control the road conditions and has to drive on the same highways you do.
