How chipped is your windscreen

[obi_waynne]

Just looking very closely over my windscreen and there are a few small chips in it caused by stones but thankfully nothing major.

I noticed that quite a few of my friends cars have got pretty big (not MOT failures) stone chips in them.

What is your screen like? Are motorways better or worse for getting stone chips?

Funny you should mention this as the heated screen in my Zetractor saw fit to crack on thursday :blink: Thank God for windscreen cover. They're coming to replace it tomorrow £70 excess. We can't see a chip anywhere on the screen so if there is one it's tiny. I guess they'll tell me tomorrow why it failed.

theyve been relaying the roads by me for a good few weeks, got loads of little tiny chips. should get the council 2 cough up. and i mite win the lottery aswell

i have no chips at all , i usually try to keep the distance from the car in front of me, especially lorries as they can carry large stones between their double wheels.

still , the crack i got from pouring cold water on the windshield on a hot day started extending towards the center and now i really need to replace it.

How low was it? 1.1 litre 206s usually have fairly modest tyres
