15,000+ miles and maybe some near misses but no cracks or major chips.

4300 miles no chip yet ,but on the test drive I noticed a small pebble stuck in the sas Goodyear no biggie right?
As soon as I hit 35 that sucker comes out like a bullet into the door 4 miles on odometer.
Changed with mud terrain tires and methods next am.

Its a catchers mit. Not a ford issue. Look at jeeps. They all have cracks.
Itā€™s not a jeep thing. Iā€™ve got two (TJ and JK) about 150k miles between the two of em. Both original windows. Itā€™s a driver issue. Following too close. I know folks donā€™t wanna hear it but distance is your friend in a jeep or bronco back off and the rock chips should subside. Now oncoming traffic kicking up rocksā€¦ yeah thatā€™s a crap shoot šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø. Cheers

I also got a crack on day one on the way home from the dealer. Granted I had a 500 mile drive home but I got hit hard by a rock on my way out of Nashville on the highway but couldnā€™t see a chip or crack right away. By the time I got home that night the crack was 6 inches long from the bottom of the passenger side windshield. The rock hit right under the wiper blade. Still havenā€™t changed the windshield yet at about 3,000 miles. Will get around to it later this summer. Adds a little character
