EACH TIME I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANYWHERE WITHIN ANY VICINITY BEHIND A TRUCK AND ANY SIZE OF DEBRIS IS THROWN UP ON MY WINDSHIELD....IT CAUSES A BREAK. EACH TIME IT HAS BROKEN....THIS SIZE OF ROCK OR DEBRIS HAS BEEN HARDLY VISIBLE TO THE EYE. THE VERY LAST TIME WAS A TINY PIECE OF ASPHALT AND IT LEFT THE BIGGEST BREAK OF ALL. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOME TYPE OF DEFAULT IN THE WINDSHIELD FOR IT TO BREAK SO EASILY. I AM CURIOUS AS IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY INDIVIDUALS WITH JEEPS AND NONE HAVE EXPIERENCED THIS TYPE OF DIFFICULTY. *AK
