Default How to avoid small pebbles/rocks on freeway?

I dont know where this topic is suppose to go, but I guess windshields fit under appearance. Anyway, is there some sort of windshield protector to keep small flying pebbles or rocks from hitting my windshield while driving on the freeway?

It sucks because I have 2 tennis size cracks and a couple penny sized crack as well.

I don't think there is a windshield "protector" to stop pebbles/rocks. For the front end of the car, yes. I.E. Bra, Invisible Bra, Deflector, etc.

if your looking for front end protection, contact starshieldarmor.com

here is the answer for rocks hitting your windshield on freeway

replace windshield motor with a heavy duty one and when your on the freeway just blast on the wipers stand back and....{well actually keep driving} and watch all the rocks just being smacked out of your way

im too stoned for this...damn i can come up with the greatest inventions

it's too much to ask not to drive on the freeway for many of us that commute many miles to work(70 for me)

i don't tailgate trunk, but sometime it just happen to in the wrong place and bam! a nice sized chip.

the clear bra thing cost like 3-4 bones after putted on..i can respray my bumper for that much moola
