Rock Chips
Anyone else chipped their windshield yet? I have four chips and only 1700 miles. I had them repaired at the local windshield shop today and I think it looks worse. Are fords windshields notorious for being junk? I drive the same roads that i did with my last truck and it didn't chip like this.

Pass up those semi trucks with missing mud flaps.
I'm afraid to say this cause people on this board is going to think I'm crazy, I do a lot of off roading and to keep my paint from being chipped or scratched by tree branches, I cover my truck with clear thick plastic and duct tape, yea I know you can't install that on the windshield cause you won't be able to see.
just had to tell everybody cause most people on this board have no off roading experience, no fun
I have been called names and critized cause i take my F150 off road, its funny cause i kinda wonder why anybody would spend money and buy a 4X4 if they never take it off road?? i kinda think thats a waste of money, they should have got the 2 wheel drive F150

I don't know if this will help, but I bought one of those do-it yourself kits from Auto-Zone and repaired it myself. You could still see it a little bit, but it looked 90% better.

Yeah i know way to close. I never sit any closer than 150-200 yards to any trucks/cars infront of me and very rarely get stone chips on bumpers or windows. So i cant really say if the screen is any different than my other cars.
