Mine is being replaced under warranty, no rock damage.

Well I don't know if thats true. The new windshield that I have in mine now is ALOT thicker. I don't know if you actually looked at both- you may be right. But this windshield feels like it is almost twice as thick. I might measure it just to prove it. The back glass feels like 500 year old paper compared to the new windshield i just got. It might be some kind of aftermarket windshield tho.

Such a thin windscreen, all for weight reduction, I guess

Same thing happened to me, got the glass replaced and I have to get three chips repaired due to more damage to the new windshield!!! Base Lancer glass is the same as X glass BTW, I talked to the guy from safelite auto glass when he replaced the stock glass.
