I just noticed...
 

People talk about rock chips on the paint but the other day i noticed small chips out of my windshield not cracks just little pieces of glass chipped off has anyone else noticed this on their windshield?

yes, every fukin where, pisses me off. Apparently not only is Nissans paint a load of bullshyt, their glass is too.

ya it happens. i still dont want the clear bra because I know im going to switch out the front bumper or add something to it

Yeah I have at least a few. Sucks... Not only is the paint cheap, but the windshield is too :shakes head:

:facepalm: thanks Nissan...

yes.... and a lot...

Not really a Nissan issue.....Most glass is soft these days, and the roads are dirtier. Happens to most cars..

^I know, ha I just felt the need to face palm.

Stop whining. You basically bought a Porsche Cayman at half the price. What else do you expect? Bulletproof windshield? :ughdance:

no not me..i dont look that close..haha

Bullshyt Glass? Tell ya what. Melt down some glass, and make two equal sheets. Slip some sticky plastic between the two sheets of glass and secure them together. Make sure the finished product is flawless.

Then, mount the glass in your garage, hanging on one side, with some space behind it. Next, line up your tennis ball launcher so it's aimed at the glass and fill the launcher with a bunch of rocks of various makes, models, shapes and sizes. Put the launcher on 'medium' or on the middle notch. Fire up the launcher. Wait 10mins.

If your glass comes out without scratches or chips and you can bulk manufacture it for less than the cost of normal 'glass', then i'll buy your windshield. So will every major vehicle manufacturer on the planet. This aint a Nissan problem, it's physics. It's how stuff works on this planet. :tiphat:

ornery fella

i have two of these windshields in my garage..wanna buy one?..haha

Roads are dirtier...and so are the dump trucks that drop 20lbs of sand and gravel every time they go over a bump or pothole, which are more common now than before.

Infrastructure Fail.

Your darn right i'm ornery. If you can't make something better than what you're complaining about, then you have no right to complain... unless you can reasonably fix that which you're complaining about.

My biggest pet peve, IRL and on the net, is when someone complains about something just to complain about it. Something every employee who works for me knows: I will tolerate a complaint, as long as you follow it up with a reasonable solution. If you complain just to complain, you're welcome to find another job.

Feel free to delete my posts if you feel I stepped over the line, but I had to add my 2 cents.

wishihadnav, if I find myself driving too close to vehicles and chipping my windshield, you'll hear from me! Are they bullet proof too?! I've been pondering converting my Nismo (or another race car) into a 'mad max' type bulletproof vehicle with mounted retractable AR-15s in the fenders and a flame thrower that pops out of a side door... maybe a rocket launcher mod to the trunk. I'm going to need something to drive during the apocalypse and to semi quote Doc Brown, "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a Apocalypse Survival Kit into a car, why not do it with some style?" And yes, i'm being serious!

The first day i had it, a mini van kicked up a rock and chipped my windshield bad. I had to meet the windshield repair man to have it fixed. I drove to him so he charged me $50.

i like to complain about complaining

:wtf2:

2nd day I had my roadster I got a nick in my glass near my wipers.

He said F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S :tup:

:facepalm:

:bowrofl:

I definitely agree with this...too many people complaining these days and no one doing a damn thing about it.

:drama:

Round and round we go...

where she stops nobody knows

Over yonder is where we stop!

yeah, just replaced my windshield last week, after having my z for three months, I don't think it's nissan's fault though, the rock delivers quiet a lot of force when you coming at it at 80 mph. You should get the chip fixed before it gets a chance to spread.

No Paint anymore is safe against rock chips it's all water based paint, should you want a clear coat of tuff protection paint use the "Endura "www.endura.ca brand Clear Coat it's an industrial strength urethane,, on white it may /er the the color some.. I have used this on my other Z's it is tuff like glass..80,000 miles I had 3 nicks in the paint my windshield needed to be replaced, the wife said I should have clear coated the windshield too.. Shines like crazy and super tuff. I hardly ever waxed my Z.
My Car club will vouch for the look and toughness
ZCSD.org she took 2nd place in the ZCCA ZCON nationals in Dallas and Syracuse she was a silver 280zxt with a rear window wing
