Multiple Cracked Windshields

[ChetC]

A better question is how close are you following people if all these rocks are ricocheting off your ride?

Dang man, that's a whole lot of freaking work to copy and paste a word into the browser. Ain't nobody got time for that.

At least as much as to just google it

I'm going with his google was busted.

Stop replacing them. When they make a small ding, I just repair the windshield.

I thought this was supposed to be more of an issue for cars driving BEHIND Broncos (w/Sasquatch tires).

I actually had 2 stones thrown out ahead of me from my FRONT Goodyears and bounce back into my windshield... On 1 highway drive after taking a gravel road.

Wifes JK had a crack in it the second week we owned it, I won't be surprised if it happens to the Bronco. Easy call to have them come to the house and replace it while I drink a beer on a saturday, 2023.

My ride is a Black Diamond, 2.7, mid pkg, MIC, tow, roof rails, factory PPF. I added PPF on both sides about 50% up after delivery, and the front bug deflector Aeroskin II appears to also help with deflecting rocks from the windshield

Yup. On to my second windshield within a month of ownership and really thought I was going to need another one only a few days after replacement given the sound of something pinging off it loudly but this time it survived. I switched to a $100 deductible for $12 more a month. (Coverage good for all events not just glass since my state didn’t have the $0 glass only option)

I just switched mine to $0 deductible glass but it looks to be only $20 over the 6 month period. What am I missing? I've fixed one rock chip and surely not the last.

I’m adding the ugly ass hood and windshield deflector and will look at the film protection too. Following distance adjustment may help as well.

Repairs are free for me. When the repair failed, replacement is not. I asked about $0 for glass. They said it wasn’t available in my state. $100 was my best option

Actuary hasn't caught on yet, Bronco is still too new.

Went through 2 windshields in my Wrangler and 2 repairs in seven years. I am getting ready to replace the first one in my Bronco. I had it less than one month when I caught a rock. I heard the hit but could not find the damage (I like to try to repair ASAP to try to avoid replacing the entire windshield). A couple of weeks later the crack developed. The impact was at the top edge of the drivers's side windshield - I just missed it. I hate dealing with a cracked windshield. Jeep now offers Corning's "Gorilla Glass" as an option. I am hoping that Corning will offer Gorilla Glass for the Bronco.

Has to be a REAL specific trajectory for a bug deflector to do anything with rocks
Can't hurt I guess

Maybe once a year I might have a rock hit my windshield. Super curious where people are going to get hit so many times. Minnesota requires $0 deductible glass insurance so I won't worry too much.

Historically most of my chips have come from oncoming traffic. Not much you can do about that but stick to divided highways.
