The amount of cracked windshields is absurd.

[1Guy1Truck]

Ive been driving 25 years and in the 2 years I’ve had my maverick I’ve had more windshield cracks then the previous 23 years. I’m on my 2nd windshield but the first one had 2 repairs before I replaced it. I finally had to replace it because I got another crack on a road trip and couldn’t get it repaired in time before it spread. Now on my 2nd windshield I have 2 repairs which luckily I was able to repair before they spread.
I even bought the hood deflector which hasn’t done anything to help.
What is it about this vehicle that attracts rocks?

My 2006 Scion XB gave me the same issues. But I still loved the car.

You're preaching to the choir here.
Maverick is short for rock magnet and rear end crashes.

I notice twice in 30k miles my front tire has thrown a small rock forward which was caught by the wind before touching pavement and curved upwards and I drove right into them. Maybe a vote for a larger air dam in front of front wheels.

We own both a Wrangler and a Maverick, cuz we're just funky like that.

How many times a day do jeep owners tell people they are jeep owners?

My rock was the first week after moving to Rio Rancho, on paseo del Norte and a new Durango threw the rock hitting right in my line of sight

Well we've learned if it is more than one it qualifies as an absurd amount....

This is the discontinued deflector that works, original Aeroskin 2. I put it on after a rock crack 12 days into owning my Maverick. Over 2 years later and hardly anything hits the windshield, occasionally the rare bug.

I think Aeroskin made a deal with Ford/windshield manufacturers to stop making it

I only had one and it was a bar fight that I won. Don’t body slam anyone into the windshield as it won’t hold up.

Zero issues with mine. I stay FAR away from Dump trucks though.
