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.
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.

Had my third windscreen fitted yesterday.
Owned my Grenadier for 14 months and covered 12,000 miles so far.
Both stone impacts were whilst on motorway; first was a chip 30mm in from right side edge. Took a month to spider out. A hot day finished it off.
Latest one was a stone which I heard striking the screen. Thought I’d got away with it until five minutes later a crack crept up from bottom right hand edge.

First replacement was an Ineos branded screen. Newest one is Pilkington. Both same part number. Shame, as I was hoping Pilkington makes a better quality screen, but I suspect they supply direct for Ineos.
