Description of the problem	My windshield has been impacted by objects from the roadway twice and has had to be replaced each time. The first incident was in april 2019, when a chunk of ice flew off a vehicle ahead of mine and nearly shattered the entire windshield. This windshield was replaced. The replacement windshield was impacted by a small road rock while operating the vehicle in december 2020, resulting in a golf ball-sized puncture down to the adhesive sheet. Even the safelite tech remarked at the level of damage and was unable to salvage the windshield. I have never seen a road rock cause that much damage to a windshield, and i don't think there's ever been a vehicle i've owned that hasn't taken a rock at one point or another. It's unavoidable. What is not unavoidable is the clearly defective nature of these windshields. I no longer feel safe behind the wheel. That windshield will protect nothing in a high-impact situation.
