It's not guaranteed to prevent the problem, but you might want to think about how close you tend to drive behind other cars. The closer you get the more dangerous it can be to both you and your ride.
The first week I had my shiny new 2005 Focus ZX3 I was following a car when something flew out the window, hit the road, bounced once or twice and hit the front of my car hard. I expected some damage, so when I get home I took a look with my fingers crossed. There, still wedged in the grill, was a kids Fisher-Price toy truck. I still have it as a souvenir.
I posted to a Focus discussion board at the time that my new ZX3 was hit by a truck!
Oh - an FYI - I just ordered a new Cube SL with the preferred package today. All that remains is for the dealer to find one. The ZX3 has about 84,000 miles on it and it's time to get something new.
