I just did a full windshield replacement on mine 21 Jan 2016.. Already had 3 rock chips filled, then the last rock hit resulted in and 18 inch crack with 3 other spider lines attached. This is 2014 that Ive had for 17 months. My 2013 NISMO had 4 or 5 chips to fill in as well. And I only had it for 18 months.

Are our Z's just more prone to attracting rocks due to the design of them or somethibg? Or are the windshields just made out of tissue paper?

I hear you! Plus paint chips on the hood, even when clear-bra'd from all the s**t they pour on the roads over the winter months … with the stones still covering the roads in the spring and early summer.

Change your comprehensive deductible to $0 (it's a cheap upgrade). Your insurance will cover it and it will NOT affect your premium. Good luck!
