Windshield specks/chips

I’ve gotten a lot of little flecks from rocks, do you guys also have this, anything I could do now to lighten the existing ones?

I have... it will remain an issue for a low sports car in a world full of mall crawlers. Get a reputable glass company to correct the current ones.

It just seems like every single rock that has hit has made a small pit.
(Window is clean and I put my eyeball up to the marks and they are below surface) I’ve driven taller vehicles with a more straight angle windshield and can count up enough rock hits but never noticing any damage

Chipped windshields are just a fact of life on any car in the age of oversized mall crawlers. I know some detail / ppf shop[s sell a clear windshield ppf as an option, but that can get you into trouble in many states that have statutes that expectedly disallow any treatments to windshields.

Yes I am noticing it as well and I believe it could be because Nissan is using a softer material when making their windshield possibly due to cost. I have several significant chips/nicks and the car doesn’t even have 1000 miles on it. I haven’t seen any issues on my other cars the way I’m seeing it on a 2026. I will probably have PPF applied on mine because it is only going to see more highway miles in the future. The ceramic coat only protects so much and I had the entire car treated including both front and rear windshields. PPF will be going on the hood and nose as well.
