Who hasn't done something similar to this at least a few times in their lives?

Just glad it wasn't me.......

Im on my third windshield. The generic aftermarket replacement windshield installed is only175.00. If u want the OEM one with the little jeep in corner it is 500.00 installed in ur driveway.

I learned quickly that generic one is the way to go and is just as good of a piece of glass as OEM and fits perfect.

Good luck with that! I just got a rock to my window last night and woke up with a crack. Just keeps getting better

MAKE SURE THEY CENTER THE WINDOW PERFECTLY TO MANUFACTURERS SPECS!


Otherwise..."wzzzheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" the jeeps upright window position will make a very loud whistle anytime you go over 20 mph.

You have to align that sucker perfectly.

Just to reinforce this.. My windshield came out fine but my girlfriend is on her third replacement in 2 weeks because they can't get it right. I finally threw some weatherstripping in the gap and it looks great while getting rid of the whistle. Next time we're going to the pros, not safelite- the jiffy lube of windshields.
