Crappy Windshield glass?
I saw some other threads about this, but is the glass soft or something? I have got a bunch of small chips in the windshield. My car only has 3600 miles on it and is almost 6 months old. Has anyone contacted their dealer about it? I have an appointment for Monday for them to take a look at it.

This may be a safety issue that Lexus will have to deal with (sooner or later). My 2 year old 3IS with 10K miles on it has more pits than my 24 year old MR2 did when I sold it. And the MR2 had 120K miles on it, much of it driven under rougher road conditions and at higher speeds than the Lexus.

Same here. I had the windshield on my 2016 3IS replaced 6 months after purchase. Took a stone and immediately began to crack....right across the drivers side.
So my new windshield has about a dozen little pits in it so far. By far the worst glass I've dealt with in all my vehicles.

About 16 months into my lease my windshield took a stone. Woke up the next morning and came out to the car in the garage and there was a crack that went half way across the windshield. Had to have it replaced rather than just repaired, which is what I was planning on doing initially.

15k odo. I got 3-4 visible pits you can see. However, under the right lights, my windshield looks sand blasted. I travel a lot of freeway soo... yeah.
I wonder if there is anything like a clear bra for glass lol. But then again, it would be very unsafe because of color discoloration as well as being exposed to the elements.
I guess the best option is to replace the glass for something stronger. Anyone have an aftermarket brand that is good?
