Thats funny to hear.

Appearantly, its the curve of the glass that is the problem with other than PPG/Sigla ($350 Canadian)or Sekurit($750 Canadian)

Two years ago I ran into a rock or it ran into me? I was on the highway, me going one way at about 70 and a gravel truck going the other at what I assume would be 60. I saw the rock, about the size of a walnut, coming. It hit directly in my line of site and the only thing it left for an area about the size of a golf ball was the safety film. The glass that was smashed away was stuck in my knuckles my face my neck and even in the firewall upholstery between the seats. And I still had another five miles to drive to work. I knew what trucking company it was and they paid for it, something about not cleaning the loose stuff off the outside of the box before hitting the road is a fine up here.

Anyways, The only windsheilds we could get here (Victoria, Canada) were PPG/Sigla (glass guy says they are the same company) but I wanted a tinted one, and I got four, two from Colorado and two from back east, all PPG/Sigla. The first one was broken (smashed) when the shop got it. The second had chips around the outside, and the third broke two days after it was installed. I just hopped in my car and as I turned the key to start it I heard a crack and the window broke in two from the VIN plate all the way to the other side???? The forth is in my car now.

The insurance company up here paid $350 for the PPG window and $150 for installation (Canadian) about $350 US.
