I've had my 04 Passat for 2 years and have had to replace the windshield twice.
Last night, for the second time, debris on the freeway hit the windshield and left a very deep gouge, that will only get worst with time.
I've never had problems like this with other cars, but this is bs having to replace the windshield once a year.
Are VW windshields thinner then other autos?
