I think it's the size of the windshield that makes it more susceptible. I heard a couple of loud cracking sounds coming from the windshield but thankfully no cracks yet

Sorry to hear that! I think it's going to be an expensive windshield to replace. Probably needs OEM: Sound deadening, odd shape, plus camera calibration. Would be interested in finding out how much it will cost to repair. I'm sure I will have to face your predicament soon enough.

Don't go through Safelite if you want OEM, go through the dealer instead.

Chips along the edges or are they from rocks?

Ouch! I wonder if it the windshields would cost more of SX owners because they're polarized.

Wow.. I was afraid of that $1018 =>$758 USD + install. Looking at $1k USD for windshield replacement.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi, my windshield chipped easily in April (only 350km). Had to wait 3 weeks and got it replaced at dealer per $1250 CAD (labour + windshield ). I am really surprised that it chipped so easily and I am super disappointed.
