Hi, i just got my 2013 unlimited sahara a month ago.
This morning i went for a drive and noticed a crack in the winshield and within minutes it stretched across end to end.

It is winter here and so i can't be sure if the sudden change in temp caused it. Or a rock hit. Or if maybe my jk has an issue from the factory.
Plus, the replacement windshield will not have the decals on it. I love those little decals :-(

Anyone have a similar expieriance to shed some light? Thanks

If you don't already have windshield coverage on your insurrance, get it now. I've put more windshields in this vehicle than I have put in all the other vehicles I have owned combined. These things are "rock magnets".

Well... now there is a tea kettle like whistlling since getting the dealer to replace the windshield. Really hoping that it is something they can look into right away because it is annoying.
