type 44 windshield prices

Some pitting I can deal with.  I just don't want a
windsheild that either line cracks or spiderwebs from
1 stone the way some cheaper Mexican and Thai?
windsheilds I've seen.  This one has taken a least a
dozen stone hits, some as large as 3/4" grade.  They
do leave a pit, but the sheild hasn't cracked.
