you live in AZ bro, it's fairly common to have your windshield replaced once a year from all the sand blast
0 deductible windshield replacement is awesome

Whlkev,
I've been in AZ since '77, have owned 11 cars in that time (4 Toyotas), but never experienced the windshield pitting I have on the GS.

Aha - so quality is inversely proportional to increased price - thanks.
By the way, neither BMW I owned had the problem.
