Never gave the windshield in my Vibe much thought. Still the original glass after 190K miles, has two chips that were fixed, no cracks, most of it feels as smooth as 180 grit sandpaper though.....
Reason this came up is because of the '14 Kia Soul my Wife bought. Five months and about 8K miles since buying it new, we may have to replace the windshield because it has taken on so many chips. My Wife and I feel its more due to cheap glass than angles and such as to why its been so vulnerable.
To say my Wife is a bit upset would be an understatement.
She drives the same route in the Soul that she did in Vibe everyday to/from work.
How's your glass holding up?
