25K and only regular maintenance so far. BTW, the automatic transmission filter never gets changed. Just the fluid every 15K. OEM windshield still surviving

 

i think that you are one of few my friend..... from what i understand about these windsheilds..........

 

I had to change the way I drive. I avoid getting behind gravel trucks or anything for that matter. I get really pi$$ed when someone passes me and cuts over too soon. This is when most rocks get thrown up.

 

41,XXX miles original windshield, and clutch still has eome life in it...not a lot though.......

 

10484 before it went into the shop a cupple weeks ago....

 

47xxx on mine, 6th windshield and no problems.

 

Ouch!

 

4 months old, 6500 miles, 3rd windshield

 

What's with all the windshields? Sounds like too much tailgating. Does your insurance premiums start going up after the first 2?
Also, what does the paint on the front end look like with that kind of rock damage?

 

No tailgating here, just bad luck. Lost my first one from a rock from an on-coming car. Second one was from a rock from a car in the lane next to me.

 

mine went from stress so says the glass masters who istalled the new one, meaning improper installation at toyota.....

no clue about the paint on the front end, its not scion paint.......

update::::::: 24,984 Brake pads replaced as well with 3 lug studs, they break easy

 

Well, I bought the first windshield out of pocket. The second was insurance. This leaked, burnt up my stereo and soaked my car. Free replacement. The free one cracked (stress) 3 weeks later. Another freebie. I caught a rock 20 hours after installation, and before I got the car stopped it was cracked halfway across the windshield. Time for another insurance claim along with a rant about how cheap Safelite's glass is. So this makes my 5th replacement (6th piece of glass in the car.) My front bumper looks like ____. My hood is chipped all over. There are a few other chips that are pretty good sized on the sides of the car. (not door dings, rock chips on the leading edges of body panels.) My car will be getting painted in the next year or two.

 

Oh, BTW i commute 60 miles a day and about 90 percent of it is on crowded highway.

 

makes since now

 

How is the area around the windshield holding up to all the installs??? I'm scared as heck about when and if I ever need to have one put in. Don't need damaged paint on top if it all.

 

area around windsheild great, when they installed the glass they scratched the roof BECAUSE THEY SET A TOOL OF SOME SORT THERE,

moral of the story, watch the people doing the install

 

Mines in good shape. Rock chips, but no damage from installers.

 

I've heard horror stories about dashboards getting cut and scratched up. Do they pull off the inner trim around the windshield when the do the install??

 

Uhmmm, there is no "inner trim". It's the headliner, a pillars (i guess you could remove that trim) and the dash.

 

I ordered my scion about the beginning of May............ I own it but i can't drive it yet. Still waiting for it to come in.........they told me its at the port but I live only 6 hours away from it.. Whats the deal..........all i ordered was 18 inch rims........are they micro managing....whats up with the ports
