so, as you know, the wrangler's windshield have a tendancy to be a rock catcher. rather than other vehicles, where the slant helps deflect the rocks.

since it snowed like crazy up here in the pacific northwest recently, there's been a whole lot of sand put on the freeways. i now have 4 countable, sizeable chips, and one crack that keeps growing.

anyone know if the warrenty will cover a window replacement?

people tell me to ask, and there's no harm in asking, but im almost 100% sure they wont do that under the warrenty. bumper to bumper right? and the windshield is between the two

 

i dont think so but i think there is a road hazard insurance you could get with your insurance or the company who puts on your new windshield.

 

I absolutely recommend asking.
Even service managers need a good laugh now and then.

Then check your auto insurance. Your luck could be better there. A rep at my company told me, nope, not covered, but then I found out it was, with a $50 deductible. I got the difference back.

 

If a stone chip caused the crack its not a warranty issue. If there is no chip and it passes the pen test the dealer should replace it.

 

Chrysler would go (more) broke if they replaced every windshield from a rock impact, so you're not likely to have luck there. Your insurance may cover it though, some states require it.

 

Yep go insurance...My insurance paid for it...I'm aloud a chip and
rock repair once a year...Check your policy...The first week i got
mine got a CHIP... Ah well what can you say...

 

It depends on your insurance co. I just switched to AIG (JEEP discount) went I bought my JEEP but just found out they dont even offer full windshild coverage in my state (PA), which I had at my old co. It is covered under my comprehensive $250 deductible for full replacement but they will repair the chips at no cost to me, glass co. is liking me get a chip-get it filled then they warrenty each chip aginst spreading and if it does they will replace windshild free of charge.

 

Like the others have said, it's worth a shot, but you'll probably have better luck with your insurance.

With my policy there is an add-on for additional glass coverage, I think it's less than $20 a year. From there, there is a $25 deductible to repair chips, and a $50 deductible to replace the whole windshield. Check your policy and see what they can do for you

 

Did your crack look like this?

This is JKgirls Jeep, ice flew off of a semi, and creamed our windshield.
We called the police and they pulled the truck over. Their Ins. co is covering the $245 for our new windshield.

 

100% certain the warranty will NOT cover the windshield. From the Jeep warranty as found on Jeep.com:
