Friends, this is somewhat odd. I keep getting my windshield chipped. No cracks, rather several “craters” and marks all around.
Is this only me or others have also seen their cars being a rock magnet?

at some point, I thought of changing it, but it really makes no sense.

Taycan windshield is pretty soft, I got a small stone that left a mark, luckily not on my side.
But more annoying is that I get the rear doors stone chips when going over debris. Its the first car with this issue, Panamera is not affected, maybe its body design issue or the 21 inch wheels.

I just got a small one yesterday...of course right in the line of sight of the driver! Porsche says it's about $3500 to replace insurance not withstanding. I front rear view mirrors the camera init so needs to be calibrated along with other safety features. I wonder if the sloping front doesnt
contribute to being hit by stones. Of course this was coming up to a dirty ass dump truck!

This just happened to me yesterday. It will result in my third windshield replacement in 3 years.
