I use this for my cars without windshields…View attachment 4185733
Yeah, maybe.
I remember years ago I made the mistake of riding my motorcycle along the river at around dusk.
Not realizing there was a hatch going on.
By the time that I got where I was going there was so much bug guts on my glasses that I couldn't see through them.

What really causes cracks to grow is rain/snow on the outside and the defroster running on the inside. Sept 2024 I got a small (2 1/2"+-) crack in the upper RH corner of my company truck. I put a piece of duct tape on the inside and I don't know if it helps or not but that crack hasn't grown in over a year. It passed the annual safety inspection last month so likely will be on the truck when I turn it in next spring.

It's doubtful air deflectors would have much ability to change the course of a rock/stone projectile. Fortunately windshields are usually the least expensive glass to replace on a vehicle.
Not sure where you got that information. Door glass is much less. Front windshields often have heaters and removing and remounting the cameras requires calibration.
