The good part is that Vanagon OEM windshields are TRIPLE plated, ie have 2
layers of plastic sandwiched between three layers of glass. Which means that
a rock may crack the outer glass layer without doing much damage to the
integrity of the whole windshield.
At least that's the way my 85s and 91s came equipped...
