82k miles on the original factory windshield. I live in PA, but I have driven the Gladiator to Fl (several times); did a trip to UT and CO, St Louis twice, and several smaller more local states trips. I've had a small chip from a rock for a long time, but it has never spread into a crack etc...even though I never had it repaired or sealed.

Mine lasted about two months from brand new. I'm at exactly one year since purchased, now I have three dings and two long meandering cracks.
