windshield chips and cracksflyrod 07-22-2006, 11:53 AM Hello, does anyone know of any thing you could buy to help prevent getting so many windshield chips? Also, when I recently got a rock chip it immediately ran across the window about 20 inches! Another Scion xb owner told me he had put 3 windshields in since last Oct.:ugh3: bB626 07-22-2006, 01:17 PM nope, there isnt a way to prevent chips on the window. there are a lot of xB owners that has a cracked window that i know. concretenomad 07-23-2006, 03:40 PM We got a chip after like 2 days Urbanwarrior 10-09-2006, 06:54 PM My wife has a Honda Element that has the same problem. Supposedly they are doing a recall, maybe Scion will too. I put a "bug deflector" on mine....so far so good. HATEnFATE 10-10-2006, 10:35 AM Rock Chips are unfortunatly the life of a car. On xB's, because of the more verticle slope of the windshield, the rocks hit at a more perpindicular angle to the glass and cause more damage. On most cars, the window has a more horizontal angle and rocks will tend to be deflected and cause less damage.
