That sucks. Safelite is a massive improvement on OEM glass.
But they do not have it for the 2017-2018 .
His 2015 had a known windshield issue. The 17/18s I have heard so far do not have this pattern of breakage. The 15s and some 16s cracked due to pressure. Not being hit by a rock but got ruptured under stress.
For your broken one - was the Rock hit pretty significant?
Has anybody here tried the new clear film for the windshield? It is claimed to reduce heat by 43%, and U/V rays, by 99.9%.
If there is anyone here that has this, kindly give us the details as I would really like to protect my windshield. I dunno "if" *knock on wood* the next broken windshield will make my insurance increase my deductible since it cost more than $1500 CAD for them replaced the last one.
Pretty sure he's referring to Window Tint.
I've had two CX-5's, a 2013, and a 2015. Only problem so far has been (fingers crossed) a star in the lower left corner of the 2015 windshield. Immediately called insurance guy, and got it patched in two days for $50.00. Holding on so far.

You can get ceramic tints for windshield. It has to be pre shrunk before applying so it costs more. I would say about 250 dollars to get a good ceramic tint done. Or about 70 dollars for the top strip which is ok useful. It will keep a ton of heat out though - it gets applied from the inside and will do nothing to protect the car from rock chips etc.
