Default Rear Soft Window Cracked

So I was driving in the Chicago area this past week where it was in the -10 to 0 degree F range a few times and my rear window split in two spontaneously. The dealer told me that it was my fault for driving my jeep in weather that was too cold for it in factory trim. I picked up the replacement today and I'm waiting an approximate 2 week delivery time for a hard top that I was originally trying to avoid shelling out the cash on.

The dealership is going to replace my shifter trim that broke due to the same cold weather conditions.

I hope your not buying a bestop 2 piece top. I got one sitting on my trailer to take back tomm because it doesn't fit and this is the second one. The first one i got was destroyed in shipping make sure you check the top over with a fine tooth comb before taking delivery.

i kinda hope this happens to me, because then i have a trail set, and a regular DD set. however i think my dealer will be cool with me if they break, and if not, i'll get them none the less. or give me a good reason for a hardtop in the winter
