    Anyone else notice this on their car? It’s along both side edges of my windshield. Original glass on my 2010.

    I’ve noticed a little on our 2010, but not to the level you are showing there:(.

    Could it be the salt from winter having that effect?

    Yeah, our weather is rough on cars but I've never seen this before. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

    Yes. I feel your disappointment. I have the same condition on the edges of my windshield on my original owner 2011 Prius with 187,000 miles. I live in an extremely hot area and always place my sunscreen inside the windshield before going into work. Hope that extra reflection and heat didn't cause it. However, I wax the paint and it looks great. I'm waiting for a big rock to hit the windshield and get a new one. It's also pitted and you really see it in the evening headed West into the sun.

    Windshields are covered by many car insurance companies, in case a big rock comes out of nowhere and breaks it

    Yeah, I have glass coverage on all my cars, I think it's $50 out of pocket. I guess I'll need to start "drafting" some gravel trucks. ;) :D

    LOL, make sure it doesn't ding your hood

    Washing your car on a reallllly hot day usually will do it, any nick on the windshield will crack instantly

    I don't know that I've ever had a windshield last 8 years before, I've usually take a rock by know. Probably a testament to the car's shape.
