The amount of cracked windshields is absurd.

Don't think it would matter, but I wish there was a screen protector like you can put on your phone, but on the windshield. Got my first chip 1600 miles in. Pretty bad

42k miles on my ‘22 and so far just a couple pin holes. Nothing serious. But I do have the double pane which probably makes a difference. No deflectors.

Got my first spider crack 2 weeks ago. Its behind my rear view mirror. For the price of a new heated and sound screen window it could stay like that till it cracks some more lmao

I had one with 3 cracks about 1/15 th as long as yours are and had my local glass shop repair it within 2 hours before cracks got any dirtier exc and get the best possible penetration and adhesion possible. State Farm Ins covers 100%. Called agent asked if local guy was ok. Agent said yes and work order was on counter at glass company 7-8 minutes later when I got there. Took about 25-30 minutes. When got truck back all windows inside and out were perfectly cleaned and checked for any damage.

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?

Same here 40 years no chips. Bought this mav and bang dang 2 cracks

Also just depends on the area. Living out in England I was catching rocks left and right from the farm traffic, including a nice bullseye to the windshield that I was able to get repaired. Think I took more rocks from oncoming traffic than same direction.

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

That makes absolutely no sense from a common sense perspective.

Wow. A week after purchase, I was rear ended at a light. There was no damage to Bret. But it cracked the Acura's grill that hit me. Then a few days later a Mustang slung a rock right at the lower driver side corner of my windshield. The crack immediately started spreading and was in the center of the windshield before I made it to my destination which was 10 minutes away. I had not been in the truck a good month.

Not sure. I have been driving for 55 years and have had two cracked windshields. One was due to a rock and the other was due to excessive heat that caused a crack. I have had my Maverick for 2 years now and have had absolutely no issues at all. Not certain what issue plagues you, but I can assure you, the Maverick is not a "rock magnet".

In my years of driving first 25 years in the upper midwest -20's in the wintertime. Including frozen slush being thrown onto the windshield.
The last 30 in the desert southwest from daily 112+ to my trips into Death Valley 130+ sometimes I use a interior sunshade sometimes I don't. I have never had a windshield crack due to heat.
Maybe it's hotter where you are?
My personal opinion is that all cracks are started with a chip somewhere.

I don’t think your good luck cancels out the massive amount of cracked windshields reported here and elsewhere.

More like bad luck.

 

[JimmyBob]

At 830 miles caught a rock "out of nowhere", damn! However, a JB Weld kit from Walmart for about $12 did a fantastic repair job. If you have just a small divot, I recommend trying do it yourself.

Do not get an oem replacement and do not use Safelite.
