It took less than a week for me to break my first windshield on the X5 (CO gravel distribution to mitigate ice sucks). However, instead of a repairable chip, it immediately cracked all the way across. It seemed the rock hit with less force than normal and the crack spread faster than I have ever seen before (and I have gone through a lot of windshields). Anyone else notice the X5 windshield more prone to cracking?

yes, I agree!

we had our grand cherokee for over 6 years with not a single chip.

then within a day our x5 had 2 on the very same highway. tiny rocks, 'lobbed' up from road. it just sucks!

They use soft glass to help prevent noise!
