good point Maybe it will take a little impact vs this cheap glass in it now. Well now it will match the scratches in the plastic dash ...haha

It will happen again. Trust me. I've had three Jeeps and had windshields replaced in all of the them. I just replaced my JK windshield in June, and I got another chip coming home from Vegas last month. Luckily this time, it was small enough and high enough that we were able to buy one of those kits to fix it ourselves. So far it hasn't spread. No way was I going to have another windshield replaced this soon. I'll wait until I have multiple chips this time. It's only $100 for a new windshield through my insurance, but I'd rather save it for something else.

Just like your X, the Sahara is now ruined. Time to trade again.

You just need to lift it higher!!!! That way the rocks go underneath.

Congrats on the sahara. Did you end up buying it jeep green like you wanted? Post some pics when you get the chance (if you havnt yet). It sucks about your windshield though, seems pretty common (and normal) for these jeeps.

Yup, I had my first rock chip on day 2. It always happens just when things start looking good doesn't it
