Gen 3 windshield rock chips

[Snoopbobbydog]

I just got a rock chip in my gen 3 this morning on the way to work. Less than 5k miles on it.

both times my Raptor windshield cracked I was going 40mph or thereabouts.

Backwards!

Backwards!

We weren’t going to tell them that!

Gen2 glass was weak as the rest of them.
My 2020 with almost 100k had lots of pits and a few chips.
Took a bullet hole from a rock kicked up by a semi the week I got it.

Well maybe the 2018 is the best year for glass then. They probably switched glass suppliers after that.

One interesting item that I found when I was looking into replacing the Gen2 glass...
Is that there is a replacement with Gorilla Glass,
like a cell phone.
Expensive, but much more rock resistant.
Should be a factory option !

Yes, fun rumor. But, do you know of ANY Raptor owner with it? I’ve tried to source it twice through a dozen suppliers and the answer was the same each time, “we cannot find the part number anywhere “

I’ll be surprised if any of us have it.

My gen 2 windshield is wearing like iron. I figure to get a few more years out of it.

Interesting.
I remember talking to someone about it.
Apparently the Gorilla Glass was the inner layer.
Not what I would have expected.
But apparently it was a mirage anyway.
