Go to Walmart and buy a windshield repair kit they are by the windshield wipers. My windshield cracked out of the blue the other day on my 12'. I used the repair kit and the crack hasn't got any bigger yet. It should fix you bullseye crack no problem

I got a good crack story......over the summer my 7 year old son and I are washing the rig. He loves the jeep and loves to wash it with me! He is standing on the front of the running board (Sahara JKU) where the antenna is, washing the hood. Soapy sponge in hand, he starts to slip and first thing he grabs is the antenna. Falls, lets go of the antenna and the thing whipped back and hit the windshield......crack!!!

He was devastated and I wanted to be mad but how could I?!?! Don't want to scare him away from washing my rig ever again!!! Got a new windshield the same day. Guy from company said they always keep a few JK windshields in all of their trucks! Best part, here in NJ, the windshield falls under my deductible. Did not know that, as when I lived in PA it was not and was free. To change it would increase my insurance too much so now I stay far back from big rigs in the highway going forward!

Cool story Cobra2top!

I stopped by a local windshield repair center last week. They filled the crack for free (part of my car insurance). It's not perfect but will do the job for now.

The guy at the counter told me the same as Cobra2top, they do carry some spare JK windshiled in stock. They are very popular!
