I don't think I have ever had a stone chip on my windscreen(shield) in my previous 20 years of motoring. I've heard a few sounds of stones flicking off the windscreen but never suffered any damages as a consequence.

Until now, that is. I think the EOS windscreen is a stone magnet. I've got half a dozen tiny scuffs on the screen, and this morning went one better with a real chip, about the size of a small coin.

Not sure if this is because of the extra pot-holes we appear to be suffering from at this time of year, or that I'm driving her a bit too fast

Anybody else suffering?

Got that issue here as well. Maybe its the height of the windscreen, its angle, or the composition of the glass. It is annoying and frustrating. I also have little dings all aroung the nose of the car.

Yes, I've been working in sunny Wrexham, Wales for the last couple of months and I've now got 6 stone chips in my screen ! I seem to get them on the same stretch of road every week. I'm sure the screen is prone to more chips than my previous cars.

Anyone else have the same problem?

hmmm ive just been thinking that it only seems to happen to men (not being sexist) maybe your driving too close to the car infront because your not realising the size of your bonnet is only small therefore a small gap so the stonechips can get you?? i seen the gritters out the other night so its probably that too.

I don't have any on the windscreen.... Although do have a couple on the bonnet, but I fixed those with touchup paint and a cocktail stick!

Did you have a little sausage and a piece of cheese on your cocktail stick Simon?

Brings back memories of the cheese, pinapple and pickled onion hedgehogs we used to use at parties. (depends on your age I suppose)

Serves you right for being sexist

I had my windscreen repaired last week. It's still noticeable, but it doesn't catch the light quite as much as it did before.
