- I had my windshield replaced in the fall by one of the cheap & convenient
- folks. I have since had both gnats and snowflakes impact the glass with
- no adverse effects (except to the gnat). So the answer to your specific
- question is No.
-
- Really -- I haven't had any problems. But nothing heavy has hit the glass,
- either. I think there are fairly strict fed regs about what can be used,
- though.
