I've had the car for about five days and I have two noticible pits on my windshield. It's brand new, has only 230 miles on it. Am I screwed or can I fill them in with something?

 

Just wait until you have 17000 on it!!!! My windshield is completely F'd.
Last night on my way home from work I got the hell pebble from a truck, already got a 1/4 inch split going. Seriously, it looks like someone took a sand blaster to the thing when the sun catches it right.....
I don't think there is any escaping this problem.

 

two words:

glass coverage

btw, I hit the gas stations once a day (yes it's true) just to de-bug the windsheild. a 36 mile round trip b/t work and home yeilds me 50+/- bugs... and I live in phoenix where there aren't any bugs.

 

yeah i got a chip in mine too, im goin to have the ppl come out and fill it.

 

2000 miles and i have a chip, my protege had a pit issue w/ the windshield also. Its life.

 

That's what I thought. Oh well, nothing can be perfect in life. I do have some good news, I took off my exhaust silencer (didn't know it was installed). Sounds great! Now to save up some $$ for a nice intake...any recommendations?

 

do bug deflectors do anything for rocks coming at the glass?

 

Bug deflectors protect the leading edge of the hood - that's all.

 

I have bug deflector and I rarely have a bug hit my windshield.
If the do hit, its up high.
