3 Cracked Windscreens In 2 1/2 Years

[30ONA]

As the title indicates I've had three cracks windscreens in 2 1/2 years. This is either a problem with the install, dodgy glass or just plain unlucky. My previous car I had for 14 years and it took plenty of hits over is 320000km life with not one crack. Buut in my V36 every time I get even the tiniest stone hitting it it cracks beyond repair.

Is this common with these cars (sedan) or am I unlucky?

Could it be a faulty installation, I've used the same person each time as he is cheap. $275 installed vs others at $800+.

Or is it low quality glass, can I request genuine glass?

The way I see it, $275 for a windscreen is awfully cheap. At $275 a hit, you've already spent more than you would have if you went genuine (or at least someone a little more reliable). At less than 50% of the others, an old saying comes to mind: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

yeah if i bought something on the cheap 3 times with failure, im fairly sure i wouldn't do it again.
