Has anyone faced their windshield cracking due to debris on roads - by debris I mean tiny rocks etc. much more frequently than expected? This is the 3rd time it has happened to me in a little over 2 years and the reason I find it strange is my other ride is a Mazda CX-5 which sees much more use along the same routes and have never had a crack in over 5 years. Is there a design flaw causing this or just pure bad luck?

I have been getting the replacement done at service center last 2 times, is there another option I can look at to check if manufacturer parts are just too brittle?

    In Colorado having windshield replacement is something I’ve used for years as an addon to the car insurance. The coverage (Farmers) will get pits fixed for free, as to avoid windshield failure, and if the windshield does need to be replaced, its a $100 deductible.

    My daughter’s car (320 XDrive) had two windshields replaced in the span of two months.
