Show us your crack (windshields)

[Karearea]

Welp…I’m now in need of my THIRD windshield replacement in less than 6 months. This isn’t a crack yet, and after replacing 2 windshields, was at first thrilled it was just a chip, but was told by two glass companies they cannot repair chips/cracks “in the black”, which is the same for any vehicle, but with our ADAS camera, there’s more area potentially to impact.

I’m going to ride this one out since I can’t see it from inside, but wanted to share this with others so they are aware.

That’s an interesting down side to those with that ADAS camera fitted . The main reason I exited my new defender was to escape all that tech behind the screen! Don’t get me wrong as I loved the fancy wipers and the Lightshow was amazing especially on snow covered mountain roads in early mornings . But… I’m so glad to have less tech and just hoping to have more luck with windscreens
I feel for ya !

Mine just spontaneously cracked from the center bottom as well

Curious, I thought this had "gone away" (maybe a new design of the frame or ???) in the cars built after 1Q. Is yours a newer build date?

Hope, or at least some proactive / preventative help has arrived from racing optics https://racingopticsjeep.com/product/ig2024/

They are in the final testing of them for the Grenadiers. I attempted to get them and @anand together to finalize the testing. Problem was they were looking for a NV driver. I've been peppering them since Feb of this year for the windshield protector.

Yeah, I did the same in May. They reached out today to say they were in stock ~

i bought it. I figure i am lucky i haven't had a crack yet, i had a stone fly off my windshield without cracking it a week or two ago...
I'm going to moab in 2 weeks and i think i need this installed for the roadtrip....!

I just bought one too, will be interested to see how others get this installed quickly. I have been watching their social media trying to figure out how a grenadier could get one of these made, but had no idea they had one in the works.

I also ordered. Very timely. I called a local shop that does windshields. They quoted me $1280. That’s 5x the cost of this solution. Thank you.
