Got my first rock chip in my '08 today.
Good news is that I called Safelite at 3:30 to schedule a repair before it spread across the whole windshield. (Its supposed to be about 20 degrees in the morning) They got here before 5:30 and fixed it within a half hour. And my insurance covered it for free.

 

nice, i have a bunch of chips in my windshield. one bad one..none of them have spread yet *knock on wood*

 

Welcome to the chip in the windshield club! I got my first one 3 days after I bought my JK. Luckily got it fixed the same day to.....

 

had mine a year and a half without, and washed the jeep yesterday and BAM! i see a nice chip right in the lower center of the windshield. Prob goint to hold of getting another one until this one starts to spread

 

I just had safelite finally fix my windshield after about 2 months, just in time for the safety inspection. Luckily it didn't spread any. If I would of known insurance would of covered it for free it would of been fixed a lot sooner.

 

I'm on my second windshield, and the third will be installed on Thursday. This time, a tiny stone chip morphed into a bottom-to-top crack. Having owned Wranglers and CJs previously, I made sure I had the glass coverage rider with no deductible. It adds only $12 a year to my premium. Twelve bucks is pretty cheap for new glass.

Better get used to the replacing the windshield routine!

 

Rock Magnets!

 

i just got mine a few months back. insurance wont cover it... the good news it it will only cost $40 to fix it

 

Windshield chips, cracks and damage are part of owning a Jeep. The steep flat windshields on the Jeep are like rock magnets. Welcome to the club. I had my first large chip less than 3 months after I had my JK and had to replace the windshield before the Jeep was 8 months old. A rock hit the windshield on the top drives side edge and its spidered all the way down to the bottom in several places. $100 out of pocket for my comp deductible and insurance covered the balance.
