Rock Chips

Oct 21, 2007 7 Replies

I've had my 2007 Cooper S for less than three months and already have three good-sized rock chips in the windshield. Does anyone else have this problem? Or am I just extremely unfortunate? I had the first one repaired, the other two happened over the last week.



The little guys sure get beat up by the rocks and stuff. Probably a function of where you live, and the road conditions, etc. Good info here, search for windshields.

MINI windshields suck.

I went through 4 OEM windshields in 3 years in my Cooper before finally going with PPG glass instead. They just kept cracking, and I don't drive my car hard. It's been a year and a half with the PPG with no problems.

Wow! I guess I need to look into getting a PPG windshield. Thanks!

yep, solid windshield.
