    No not what you think!
    On Sat. two trucks passed me, going in the opposite direction. One was a flatbed and one was a pickup truck.
    No sooner than they were alongside me "BANG", and I see a greyish smudge on the passenger side of the windshield and what looks like 4-5 small nicks in about a 3/4" area.
    Sure enough, either a stone flew off one of them, or a tire threw one out. Either way, I ended up with minor damage to the windshield! :(

    No crack, at least not yet. Just 4-5 small nicks in a small area.
    Am glad it isn't on the drivers side.

    Can a glass repair service repair those small stone chips?

    A lot of insurance companies will pay for safelite to fix the stars, as safelite guarantees that the stars they fix will never crack

    Thanks for suggestions:
    I don't think it will be a problem. Just that it's noticable, and wasn't there before.
    When I got the "09" Tacoma I noticed how clear the windshield was compared to the "95" with 227,000 mi. that I had been driving. Lots and lots of "nicks", almost looked like it was hit with a sandblaster.
    Guess after a few more miles, and more windshield nicks, I'll barely notice this one!
