[QUOTE="wyomingraptor, post: 2026455, member: 64122"] I grew up in a glass shop. Started in 1977. Sold the shop 6 years ago. I have thought a lot about why auto glass breaks. In 1985 windshields for the most part were not any thicker, 55 mph speed limit, tires barely had tread on them, most people drove cars too. Fast forward to 2024. Speed limit is 80 mph, all terrain tires, everyone drives a pu or suv. The only car Ford makes is a mustang and reasonable maintenance gets you another 100k miles on the vehicle too. Windshields take a real beating in Wyoming. If your tires wear out before the windshield breaks your lucky. As for quality of glass, generally it is worse. Ford makes Carlite glass and it has always been the best. Mopar OEM is good too. OEM glass and the best tech in town. Everyone is happy and a winner! [/QUOTE]
