Default Windscreens

I'm on my 3rd replacment windscreen, and I've only had the car since Jan last year. Every time it's just been a wack from a stone while on the motorway (and I do leave a good distance from the car infront!). At least I'm covered by the insurance and it's not effecting my no claims.

It's getting a tad irritating. Is there any kind of protective film you can get a windscreen covered in?

I do not know of of any. Sounds like you have been very unlucky.

I've just had a thought, those wiper blades with the mini spoilers on them. Maybe that'll direct airflow to push stones up and over, or at least enought to slow em down. Maybe.

My screen has lots of small stone chip marks and Im hoping to replace it soon.

The S seems to attract stone chips like no other car I have owned. I want to respray the front end as there are that many!

When I got my screen repaired I was informed that my insurance company allows only one claim on glass per year, a little known incidental that they didn't tell me. Swiftcover btw.

Sounds like you've had a smashing time. Isn't it a real pane when that happens..
Throwing all stones into the equation you've been very unlucky.
