I have asked the same questions. I have an MY23 INEOS that has recently had three cracked / replaced windscreens (four cracks in total) in less that four months. All originated from small stone impacts on highways from on coming traffic. New Zealand road chip seal being very poor quality is causal factor, maybe very bad luck, or INEOS have a glass quality issue.my original windshield lasted 7 days and finally 3 months later got replaced this week. 3 days later and another rock from the road just made another 3 foot+ crack.
Has anyone else replaced multiple windshields too? I’m starting to think this could be a design flaw or possibly low quality glass being used by Ineos. I’ve cracked one windshield bad enough to need replacement in 20 years of driving jeeps and pickup trucks. And 2 on a Grenadier so far this year…
I’m hoping my insurance doesn’t drop me after two $2000 windshields in a week
If you anyone reading this is from Ineos Automotive or an attorney and would like to look into this further with me, please reach out.
Pilkington are indeed the OEM supplier.
My wife and I were in the South Island at Arrowtown in September only for a week and I knew that you had been there a little time before that, I will reach out next trip to see were you are.INEOS and all other manufacturers.
The grenadier glass is exactly the same spec and manufacturer as the JLR units and I had the same repeated issues with their vehicles too. (Both Discovery and ND)
I believe glass is a less durable material in screens these days. Not sure why, maybe weight reduction maybe safety issues
The insurance industry is sure to start clamping down on this problem worldwide in the near future in the face of significantly increased exposure!
And the customers will be expected to pick up the slack!
That would be cool. Our boys ski race so we are always there for at least a month each year in supportMy wife and I were in the South Island at Arrowtown in September only for a week and I knew that you had been there a little time before that, I will reach out next trip to see were you are.
My daughter lives in Arrowtown and each year we do a couple of trips, she and her partner areView attachment 7876777
keen 4x4 hunting adventure types taking us on some of the roads I am sure you would've been on.
The windscreen issue is just out of control. The grit is there for saving lives when the conditions are poor but it is not being removed properly, Dead if they don't and damned when they do. My daughter and partner adapt and just live with it and insurance. With the airbags and seat belts does the glass not rate as much...armoured glass or back to the future...see pic
I have used them successfully on other cars and a truck windscreen, but no luck on the Grenadier when I got a star from a stone impact. As pressure was applied injecting the resin the star quickly became a crack that spread to the edge of the screen.Does anyone in the forum have experience with using windshield repair kits in the event of a road trip without the option of professional glass repair?
And yes @Zimm I read what you wrote above.
Yes I successfully used a diy repair kit and still good many months and thousands of miles later. I have no recollection of the brand though.Does anyone in the forum have experience with using windshield repair kits in the event of a road trip without the option of professional glass repair?

That a bit more to the right of where most everyone else’s crack starts…
When repairing a stone chip in the windshield yourself, it may be necessary to park the Grenadier steeply uphill so that the repair resin has a chance to run into the crack
