I guess I’m fortunate as it was 2mm away from the A pillar and would have done some paint damage. Do guys PPF their windshields? I’ve got a full front cap PPF job and have been really happy with it, but didn’t even ask about doing the windshield.
Windshield PPF is not recommended unless it's a car that is RARELY driven. It's also not cheap.. in my area to do a front windshield it's ~700 dollars and you probably would need to replace it yearly if not earlier if it's daily driven and wipers are used on it. That's why there is only a 1 year warranty on windshield PPF compared to 10 or 12 year on normal paint PPF.

You probably need to weigh the costs of doing a Windshield PPF yearly compared to replacing front windshields costs... 2 in 6 months seems like pretty bad luck lol.
