Default Windshield

Has anyone seen that windshield protector? Its similar to what you put on your cell phones as screen protectors. I'm thinking also adding windshield insurance just for piece of mind.

I'm in Colorado. I was told 1 month and got s call for it 3 days later. With wranglers selling so damn fast, units are slated for production as opposed to repairs.

I've looked at the ClearPlex option and have read and heard it works ok until the wipers start scratching it up. Also only lasts about a year. If you try it, let us know how it works.

Same here - quoted at 4-6 weeks last month, and got a call the next day to setup an appointment. Mopar glass too so I don't know where the long original wait numbers are coming from...

Yah I'm sure new production vehicles can't get replacement parts I smell Trolls or people who's moms are too busy to make arrangements. OR IF people are living in B-F nowhere and going to Joe's garage..... come on it's a windshield and the factorIES that produce them are just praying that more need replacing. They don't work out of caves with seven dwarfs just trying to keep up
