Poor quality windshield??

Well, basically, we all just have to come to except that no matter how well we take car of our cars, SOMETHING will ALWAYS screw it up. Here are examples:
1. highways
2. potholes
3. nature in general
4. idiots in parking lots
5. salt on the roads (screw you California people haha)
6. winter
7. dumb people
8. EVERY ROAD IN THE ENTIRE MIDWEST

Time has little to do with it.......rather it's miles and the type of roads you drive on. I live in Southern California, drive the freeways, etc. The car is eight months old and 5,300 miles. No chips yet.......clear as new!
My VW GTI VR6 seemed to pit very easy and looked sandblasted after a year or so. Not so with the Benz or the Lexus....at least not yet.
Good Luck

I'm on my second windshield. I do agree the original windshield was very prone to pits and chips. Must be the angle the windshield lays at in relationship to all the small stones that fly up once in awhile. Hopefully the new windshield (non-lexus) is a bit tougher. <<<--- Not really counting on it, but I will be keeping more distance from other cars.

I have the PPG windshield too and you know I think you are right about the rear view mirror shake issue. I think it's gone or I just haven't been paying attention. I'll have to take a look tomorrow.

In Florida your insurance has to replace the windshield for free if its damaged. Specified by statute from what my insurance agent said when I had to replace my old Acura TL Type S windshield after about 3000 mi due to rock damage.

Some of you have the problem others don't. This issue is very weird, since cracks in the windshield should be an exception not the rule and I'm amaze how many of you have this problem. Lexus corporate must know this at once. A third party supplier must be responsible for this production line issue.
Maybe Toyota know this and they are intentionally silent to avoid the costly recall.

I think what is really bothering me is the pitting in the glass. I have a few small rock chips, yet the glass looks dirty or even hazey because of the pitting or "sand blasting" effect.
