Cracked Windshield 2.0

Hey All,

So far it seems every other track day I get a cracked windshield. I've done about 12 track days with the M2 and have had 2 cracks seperate cracks on the first windshield, finally got it replaced and this last event got another crack.

This is a bit surprising as when I had my E92 M3 I have over 40 track days with zero cracks. I have also over 30 track days on my Mini GP and have had zero cracks.

Any one else expiring windshields that are easily cracked?

Have you thought of doing windshield PPF?

My windshield cracked from a small rock hitting it. The crack took a few hours to show up. I don't know how this relates to the track use you are experiencing but it happened.

Had 3 chips fixed so far and few more on my other car. I get them fixed as soon as I can after they happen. Cheaper than a full replacement. Putting PPF doesn't prevent 100% and it makes repairs more complicated. I live in the land of flying rocks. over 50% of vehicles I encounter, have a fully cracked windshield.
