I mounted the Aeroskin II on day 1 and am convinced it creates enough vertical air pressure, at speed, that helps deflect incoming pebbles.

Am at 16500 miles and no chip (but U heard them!)
I have the same... still 2 chips, but I do think it helps some.

I made it about 3 miles driving home from the dealer before my first chip in the windshield. Haven't had one since. Almost at 20k miles

Didn't even make it home from the dealership. Granted they were four hours away, but I still barely made it 150 miles. Major buzzkill.

Lower right-side corner. I think at about 1,00 miles. One on the left side near the top at like 5,000. Neither cracked, but I do have tiny chips right in front of the driver view that will make me get a new windshield at some point (constantly looks like rain specs on the window).

I think I can beat all of you! I went to the dealership just to look at one the sales girl called me about. Test drove it, came back to dealership and worked out the deal at Crossroads Ford in Lumberton with Melissa, a wonderful person by the way, singed papers and then ...voila...could not take my Bronco home because it got a rock chip in transit in the lower right side of the windshield... They could not release it to me because it had not passed the Q1 inspection. It lived at the dealership another 5 days awaiting a windshield... But now, my "Little Mule" is at home where she belongs..... better me one! less than 5 miles on truck when i left it at dealership....

Delivered to the dealer with a cracked windshield. Then replaced again at 9k miles. Let’s see how long #3 lasts

For my most recent replace, the total cost (Safelite, OEM, central NY) was $883. That’s the last time I’m paying a $500 deductible for it. If you don’t have free glass replacement through ins, I might recommend pricing out lowering your comp to $0 deductible. I anticipate having to replace it at least once every 2 years.

I have a crack and Safelite is unable to repair it. I'm waiting to see if the windshield will be covered under the warrenty or the triple care plan from Ford. I find it hard to believe that this is not a manufacturer Ford issue. I have F-150 and an Edge and have never had any problems with the windshield it's all original. Has anyone reached out to Ford Motors about this issue?

I had mine 6 days. Less than 350 mile on it. Small chip near the bottom passenger side. Turned into a crack clear across the windshield all the way about 3 inches from the bottom the next day.
