I think I had about 2000 miles on my 2012 when it got a stone chip right below the mirror. I thought I could just have it filled, but I didn't even make it home before it cracked all the way a crossed. I was bummed. Get it fixed and you'll feel better.

I went through a couple on my '97 TJ, 3 on my '00 TJ, 1 on my '03, 2 on my '07 JK and so far 1 on my wife's '09 JK.

With the Wrangler windshield sitting a bit more upright than that of a car, it is more likely to crack from impact... the angle on a cars windshield allows a rock to skim across, making less of a chip/divot.

Lesson learn after my '97, don't draft off of trucks

This thread makes me sad :(

I am researching jeeps (first post here BTW) and my DD (2202 Civic SI) has had 3 windshields replaced. Thing is a freaking rock magnet.
Should be getting a JKU soon - hopefully when I do finally get one the rocks will stay away.
