one windshield better than others?

I seem to be getting a ton of small chips in my windshield and I was just wondering if there is a brand or type that gets less cracks/chips than the others.

Are there different ws makers?

Do they make different grades of ws?

I have heard from people at glass shops that there definitely are different grades of windshields, and that some shops will charge the same price but use low grade Asian imported glass. I don't know of any brand names but you might ask the glass shop what type of windshield that they are using.

In my experience, Bronco windshields have special "rock magnets" embedded in them Maybe I need to check and see if they make them without those preinstalled.

I tried to take the rock magnet out of mine, but I think I just changed the settings.

Now it not only attracts rocks, but also vast amounts of tree pollen and bird poop!
