Same thing happened to me two years ago. Driving down the freeway and came up on a cement mixer. Watched a rock fall from the beast, take two bounces on the road, bounce off my hood and crack the windshield...all in ultra slow motion.

I replaced it with polycarbonate but only kept that for a while due to the way it scratches so easily. The rep at Port Plastics in Chandler recommended I try a different product. What I got was harder than the polycarbonate but softer than acyrlic. It will not shatter when hit and is more scratch resistant. I have had the same piece for two years now. It is not street legal but works pretty well. Just have to be very careful when cleaning it. Soft rags only...no paper. I will say that I really hate driving early mornings or late afternoons going into the sun. Not good.

I have a piece precut if you want to give it a try. A 4 X 8 sheet only cost me $80.
