Gotta love it when this happens. This is my first jeep but the third windshield I've got to replace. First one for my jk though.

 

Yeah something about the straight up and down angle that just attracts rocks! We have a crack that is starting to look like a lightening bolt!

 

mine cracked after only 2 months of ownership

 

Thanks to the ice and rain we're having here in nc that crack spread 6 inches in 10 minutes.

 

That's why I got windshield coverage on my insurance 1 new windshield a year & I use it every year

 

I got my 2012 Sport in Nov. 2011. In Jan. 2012 I replaced my windshield. Today coming home in the snowstorm I got 3 cracks in the windshield.Maybe Jeep has stock in Safelite?

 

I had a chip that was growing, instead of replacing the windshield I had the glass place drill a tiny hole just below the crack to force it to change direction. So instead of it going across the windshield, it turned downward and isn't in my line of view. Problem solved.

 

Side note to this. I had 9 chips 2 cracks finally caved and got a new windshield with geico. I did get one earlier cause I thought I'd get a normal replacement. But they actually replaced it with the same one. I didn't lose my jeep grill or little jeep climbing the rocks. I'm overly excited.

 

Hahahha my windshield cracked quite similarly within the first 3 weeks of owning my jk

 

wow i consider myself lucky now, had my jk 15 months and no chips or cracks
Does getting a bug deflector on the hood help that much? Know a guy who had one and said it wrecked his soft top so took it off
