It may be the general quality of Honda windshields. After 3 years and 30k
miles, my Accord's windshield looks like the face of the moon, with
numerous pits and chips.

My wife's 8-year-old Nissan with twice as many miles has a windshield as
smooth as a baby's behind.

The Honda windshield is very susceptible to gravel and other debris thrown
by trucks.
