 Description of the problemWindscreen is easily cracked by any pebbles that knick thr shield. First time the screen was hit by a pebble from a moving vehicle and the crack spread all the way across the screen. Had to replace it with another subaru glass. Not even 2 weeks in another pebble hits and chips.. Then a couple weeks later again, another pebble cracks the screen. Anything that hits the glass seems to put knicks and cracks. Other cars we've owned have been hit harder and not had any damage. Not sure what these subaru glass screens are made of, but i assume the most delicate of materials not suited for windshield use. All times hit with rocks from moving vehicles while my car was also in motion on a highway.
