Windshield replaced?

[VAF84]

Came here by wondering if the Soundscreen windshields were more susceptible to cracks and rock chips as my 8 month old, 18k mile LER already has two with normal highway driving. Can’t be right. I’ve put lots of miles on the big three manufacturer trucks and this F150 is the only one that has had this happen this quickly.

I know it’s unlikely, but I read on another forum of it potentially falling under warranty if it happens in the first year of ownership. I need to look into it.

No. Stress cracks in year 1 are covered. Not rock chips.

Reasons not to go with cheap aftermarket windshield:

Glareshield pattern
Sound deadening layer
Optical quality

I prefer the factory or better quality ones myself but a cheapy will get you back on the road without hurting the wallet too much.

For me, windshields are a consumable item. They get chipped from flying rocks and sand blasted to the point that it becomes hazardous after a few years. It all depends on where you drive. So far I have one massive stone chip and no cracks after 53k km's.
