Windshield Rock Chips

[wmaney]

I avoid driving behind trucks because of the potential for rock chips on the windshield. However, I still have already had a few (just over 8K mies total o the car). I was wondering if something in the design of the car contributes aerodynamically or in some other way to a greater than average number of rock chips. Does anyone else notice what might seem like an inordinate number of chips?

Thanks

I got a chip in mine on day 6. I don’t even think anyone was in front of me (but I was on the highway). Must have been something kicked up from a lane to the side. In any case, it seems a little strange. I feel like I’ve noticed a few of these threads.

I have 22k miles and live in a rural area with lots of farming, cattle and horses. I don't have a single rock chip, but in previous vehicles when I had them I always purchased this kit on amazon and repaired them myself in a matter of minutes and for a fraction of the cost.

Thanks for the information and the link to the repair kit. I guess I’m just having bad luck. It’s also not that bad.
