Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

If there is no nick or chip then it must have been a stress crack. This can happen from improper installation or sheet metal contact on the edges of the windshield. Either way, the dealership may be able to replace it if you are still under warranty.

Pff! I've been through -57 weather in Northern Alberta, and no cracking. Weeks later, a gravel truck decided it was a god idea not to cover his load and a pebble bounced off my hood, hit the windshield and left a nice big chip. Two weeks after that, a rock bounced off somebody's F250 and hit the glass. Now, the entire thing is cracks and chips. It's been like this for over a year. Now that I'm back in Ontario, I'll have it replaced.

This is covered under warranty? I have a chip/small crack now. Its just a matter of time before it makes a run for the border.

They won't cover a chip.
Just the crack from temp changes.

And modified my air box cover so switching between Cold air and snorkel is easy as swapping out the top cover


moved the nipple for the oil breather to the lower box
