Do 4th gens attract rocks?
Ok i bought my car about a month ago... and every time i get on the highway.... BAM! rocks. the first day i had it one cracked my driverside headlight. and everyone who owns a 4th gen knows thats the most attractive light. anyone else have problems with these "rocks" hitting their cars? I think its a GM/FORD/DODGE plot, to get rid of the appeal ofa superior car

more like windshield companies trying to increase sales. 
Let's face it....4th gen headlights and windshields are damn near vertical compared to 5th+ or even 3rdgens.

Think thats bad? I used to live next door to a brick yard. Not only did they ship bricks in and out, but they made them there too. All that brick dust in the air, and you had no choice but to drive through it. After about 2-3 months, there are little pits in your windshield and paint.

I don't know. In my 95 EX, everytime a rock or something hit the windshield BAMM!. Everytime it sounded like the windshield cracked. Very annoying.

I have my 4th gen and every year I have to get a new windshield...they put so much sand when it snows I have about a 1-2 ft crack going across my windshield . My headights have never cracked, although are pitted *knocks on wood*

that's nuts. How much does an aftermarket replacement + labor cost these days?
