Well, the problem is, the insurance company will not replace it as it is, since there is no real big crack, etc. on the glass.
I worked at a dealer and we did our own glass replacements,then again I worked in the bodyshop so I would say if the the dealer has a bodyshop then they will do the replacements in house.don't most dealers call a local glass company like Safelite to do thier replacements? I'm pretty sure ours does, although (knocks on wood), neither of us have needed new glass yet, and that Wrangler X windshield is like a wall.
I will tooth brush it for $100..
Believe me, if meguire was making a toothpaste, he would be using it to detail his own teeth!!
The OEM glass is made by PPG glass,when I replaced mine(from a hail stone going through it) I just got a PPG windshield for $200(it was '03 so the KJ was still new to aftermarket) instead of getting a PPG made one stamped with Chrysler markings which they wanted $1200 for(i even worked at the dang dealer to).Just watch out the windshield market got flooded awhile bad with super cheap china made glass that isn't worth snot.Make sure the replacement glass is stamped "solex" or "PPG".
You must be getting stuck with that cheap china glass.It took a softball size hail stone to go through my first windshield to crack it(actually it went completely through it) even many thrown rocks(some I could see they where that big) did not crack the OEM glass.My PPG replacement just finnally got a small chip in it from rather large(I saw it hit,about 1/2" in diameter) rock from a dump truck hauling gravel doing 80mph.Just got my windshield replaced at the local Henderson glass shop. I've been putting it off for nearly 6 months now. However, they were running a special for $129.99 on Liberty windshields. Couldn't have been a better time. My insurance deductible is $250.00 and it wasn't worth the effort to try and pull insurance measures, I had the money to get it done "now".
This is the KJ's 4th windshield. Factory glass, crack, replacement, crack, replacement, crack, replacement.
1.) Construction Truck on I-96 while they enlarged the X-way a few years ago.
2.) Jeep Wrangler kicked up stone during Chicago Jeep Parade in December of 2005.
3.) Accelerating onto I-94 X-way caught a stone in late November 2006.
Sigh, I HATE Liberty windshields.
