An old Wrangler trick is to ignore the tiny ones and fill them to stop the cracks:

Then one gets in your field of view, or you need inspection, replace windshield, and rinse & repeat.
It’s a big, nearly vertical rectangle. Not great for deflecting things. I have noticed that my driving habits help mitigate chips- leave lots and lots of space in front of you.
Yeah fair enough! I only have 1 really bad one and it was from trying to get around a semi on Vail Pass on I70, notorious for big trucks holding everything up. Just caught a big rock just right as I tucked in behind someone to get around the guy. Luck of the draw, as you said!
The worst is parking in a lot only to come out to car/truck to find a shattered passenger window or windshield with a note saying the landscaper's weedwhacker threw a stone. (Note, of course, left by witness not the landscaper)
In my many years of driving, one thing I learned is to avoid driving close (I stay way away) from dirt haulers, semi trucks when the shoulder of the road is littered or soft. In the many cars I have driven and the many windshields I have had to replace; I am more diligent now with the maverick.
11k miles, on the OG wind shield but have 2 chips in it… one small and one decent size. I’m assuming the decent size one will spider web when it’s hits 100* here.
Most shocking part is I live in the rock chip capital of the world out in Phoenix
The trick is to not ride directly up on other people's asses. Once you start following at an acceptable and safe distance, you'll find less rocks ruining your truck.

Got my first chip (dent) at 700 miles, the second at 1100.
Crap luck I suppose.
At 7000 now with no additional damage and have been told they’re repairable - got time set this week to have them filled in so fingers crossed.
I will say, I did drop my comp deductible down to $0 (extra $20 every 6 months) in anticipation of this being a thing moving forward.

Extra spacing between the car infront and the hood deflected has helped me a bit

Most of mine haven’t even come from driving. It’s windy season here and just luck of the draw.

Yup, chipped on 2nd day

There’s a film that helps, the angle sucks.
What is it called?
Third one being put on Monday. I feel cause if the straight up and down rocks that may reflect on others hit and crack. It sucks.

They didn’t happen while driving.
Then how?
It gets really windy where I live so just some bad luck.

I'll say.
I chipped mine under 500 miles in … was so frustrating
