You never think that it will happenn to you but . . . .unbelievable, less than 6 months since I had my windshiled replaced the first time and already I need a new one. Is it me, or does it seem that the mini attracts road hazard?? This is the first car that I've owned where I constantly hear rocks smashing into the windshield. I know that I've seen a post about how there is a new thicker windshield, is this true. My main question is, will the effects of replacing the windshield multiple times have any ill effects on durability and how the side panels look that need to be removed?
