So long as you don't associate with the wrong people and keep a safe distance from other drivers, it's tolerable. lol.

i agree 100%

Well, at least you're not in Russia

Forget rock chips... Have to watch out for fraudulent pedestrian chips, tanks, meteorites, mafia types, armed robberies with assault rifles, constant people spinning out of control during the harsh winters and semi-trucks with no wheels barrelling towards you. Not to mention everyone seems to want to fight to the death there.

(Honestly, if driving there is even a fraction as bad as Youtube makes it out to be.. I think I'd surrender my license and stay home + wear a helmet.) Who needs that kind of stress ! lol

I don't know why rocks always seem to find the nice car windshields though hey? I've never had that problem driving anything that wasn't new/nice.

Conspiracy imo... Can't be coincidence that the rocks are targeting people who are more likely to care about their vehicles appearace, and more likely to have the desire & means to replace a windshield.

It's more of a conspiracy on why all the cracks on everyone's FR-S (at least on this thread) are on more or less the same areas.

Russia is either a Mercedes Benz demolition derby or bottle neck traffic boring. At least that's what the new Die Hard movie showed.
In Mother Russia, car wrecks you !!!

Tbh I got little hair scratches that look to be on the inside, came from the factory like that but still my back window was so dirty I can go on but I love the car

Miss_Red · 02-18-2013, 02:10 AM

Oh man, I'm not even going to try to touch the back window.

mine cracked yesterday, safelite is replacing it in two days

Slacker · 02-18-2013, 03:26 PM

I had to wait two weeks to get mine replaced. The safelite guy was impressed the mold matched perfect, said other makes he had to shorten to make fit right.

Miss_Red · 02-18-2013, 04:38 PM

I'll find out tommorow what the plan is for this. I bought a bandage decal in case it takes longer than planned (in matching red of course.). :P A little ricey, but this crack is becoming an eyesore.

Miss_Red · 02-18-2013, 08:11 PM

Good news everyone, I got a call to come into the repair center tommorow morning for the replacement. Hoping this goes well.

microbionic · 02-20-2013, 03:33 PM

Safelite just left .... They could not replace it today... The seal was not what they had expected.... They will call me when they figure it out....

update, they are getting in a OEM piece instead of their stock. they did not have the seals for their copy.

Same thing happed to me. I called the place back and told them I wanted oem glass. They said it would be in the next day.
