So I just wanna say I am highly impressed with the scion windshields. About two weeks ago in my work van "2000 astro" the windshield practically shattered from a 1/4 inch pebble on i-5.... Last night I was driving in my tc and a dump truck with 1 inch river rock was in front of me I just about passed him when 4 rocks flew over the side of his truck one slow motion i swear lol DRILLED my windshield at 70 mph on i-5 and to my amazement this gun shot noise from the rock did nothing....

THANK YOU SCION for making great windshields

 

now only if they can get the paint to stay on after a rock hit.

I got hit by 3 rocks a few days ago on my way to work, 2 hit the windshield but one hit my hood. now i have one more rock chip to add to my list of 'things to fix'

 

my windshield wasnt so lucky one tiny rockchip led to about a foot long crackk but its on my passenger side so it doesnt bother me when im driving...

 

my windshield wasn't so lucky when it met my fist but I got it fixed now.

 

yeah, i have to say, after many many many trips down the interstate with my tc, several times i heard something smack the windshield and and i would be like F***! i bet i'm going to find a chip" and yet would never find one. i don't know if i'm lucky or scion just built a great windshield.

 

I hit a bird at 70mph, it bounced off me and the trucks grille behind me destroyed the bird...lol

 

mine chiped but it was a small rock so thats why the bigger the rock the less the damage welllll sometimes :/

 

yea windshield does seem to be good. now like mentioned above, just gotta do something about those easy paint chips. a lil factory recall would be greattt

The whole front end of my car looks like it was shot with a sand and bb gun. its very sad. good ol NJ turnpike

 

i myself am on my 3rd windshield in 2 years lol

 

hahahahaha that made me chuckle.

 

hahaha damn that suckkkssss

but srsly. whats up with this cheap paint? i swear i have like 2 or 3 nicks to touch up.

 

Never had a problem with my windshield but i hate our paint. I was considering the clear bra but when i just see chaos when i imagine myself trying to apply it.. :/ oh well

 

my windshield was repairable, but to say the least I don't think scion has amazing windshields. if the sunlight hits mine at a certain angle i can barely see out of it with all the tiny chips.

 

Holly S***!!!!

 

I've seen some pretty amazing windshields in my day.

Ironically, the Dodge Neon was one of them also, next to the tC.

I had a 2001 Neon and was out in the west suburbs on I-355 (west chicagoland) and i was passing a big semi-trailer. It was winter time and the tops of these trucks aren't cleared of snow. So it melts, and then refreezes into ice.

As I was passing it, the truck and I hit a lump in the road and the truck lurched vertically, causing the ice to fly up and catch the wind at 70-80mph.

All I saw was this giant shadow traveling on the ground towards me and across the hood of the car before this slab of ice that easily covered half the windshield slammed down on to it. The slab shattered and I freaked out and jerked the wheel.

Harmlessly, the ice wiped away by the momentum of the car and the smaller fragments by the wipers.

Most amazing windshield story i've ever lived through. I'm sure there are better ones out there, so I'm not trying to 1-up anyone here, just saying that, like the original poster, I was totally blown away by the toughness of the windshield of the car i was driving at the time.

After I

 

Now if only they could make a good windshield for the xB.

 

yeah i've been behind quite a few dump trucks that for some reason didnt have a cover over there payload. on a windy day on a highway... and thankfully haven't had a chip in my windshield....

now if only the paint was the same way.. but the ones i have are pretty small..

 

lol... poor birdie
