TAKE MY WINDSHIELD POLL!

[Nym1178]

I installed the Aeroskin II deflector and the same day windshield was hit with a stone while on the highway and cracked at the top and has spread almost all the way down... Right in front of drivers view too. Dealer ordered new glass 2 weeks ago... Still waiting.

Yeah the Aeroskin 2 didn’t do anything for me either.

RANT: I got a chip on my windshield about two months ago. It immediately spread across the entire windshield. Due to backorder, it took 4 weeks to get replaced. I own a Wrangler, so I patiently understand the vertical windshield problem.

I've been driving with my brand-new windshield for 3 weeks. Yesterday: Another chip, and hours later it had spread across the entire windshield. This morning: ANOTHER CHIP.

I avoid semis, don't tailgate, and leave massive gaps between myself and other cars because I didn't want another chip. Now I have two in 24 hours and am going on my second windshield in 7 weeks.

At some point, this has to be a glass problem and not a vertical windshield problem, no?

TAKE MY POLL. Ha ha. Thanks for listening.

do the replacement windshields have the Bronco logo etched in?

How much is your full PPF going to cost, if you don't mind me asking? Wondering how the price compares to Michigan. I've received quotes from $5500 to $8000.

$3k for the windshield, full PPF (LLumar Valor), and to have the driver/ passenger windows tinted. It’s a newer shop, but I have good reviews from others who have used him (including a Bronco owner).

What's the point of complaining? It's a flat, almost vertical piece of glass on a square block of a vehicle. Should of thought of that before you bought it. Every vehicle I have owned had stone chips of some sort and at least 2 had to have the windshield replaced.

Lost the first one from a rock off of a big rig on I-80 (Oct 2021). Second one was a rock chip in Colorado that cracked due to temperature changes (Dec 2021). I put EXO Shield on the 3rd one (Feb 2022) and have had no issues. Have been to Sand Hollow and Moab in that timeframe.

Bought a cheep chip repair kit before mine arrived knowing eventually I have to use it, sure enough after about 15 hwy trips my kit was needed. Now I have invested in a Clearshield bridge and I expect to put it to good use.

I got a chip the day I drove it home from the dealership! Detroit to Minnesota. Chipped it in Chicago construction zone!

Sorry, I too have to rant here. I have not gotten my Bronco yet, It’s parked on Chip Mountain.

I live in Houston. Concrete streets, so somewhat bumpy unlike asphalt. Lots of construction vehicles that shed gravel and dirt on the bumpy streets. The City and County has cut back drastically on street cleaning. Like none.

I’ve replaced a lot of windshields. More than anywhere ever in my life. One only lasted a week, completely shattered. Must be a good business to be in here.

In Alberta Canada, they use pea gravel soaked in brine on the roads in the winter. As a result, we all can expect to have cracked windshields. First thing to do is if you get a chip, immediately have it repaired. There are places that will do it for less than $50. If the windshield gets wet and water gets into the micro cracks around the chip it will soon grow across the windshield.

There is a product available for about $500 that is like the 3M clear bra for the front of cars that is applied to the windshield. You would have to check if it is legal but I believe this option works.

I put the aeroskin II deflector on the day i brought my Bronco home.
I don't know if that's helped or not, but no chips so far.
There is a small 'chunk' that something took out of the deflector, so it at least saved me a hood ding.
(I'm sure today is the day I get a broken windshield...)

Should have been an option for those of use that Aeroskin 2d immediately.
( no chips;4 months )

9k miles on mine and no chips, honestly can't even remember a rock hitting my window.....Off to knock on the largest piece of wood I can find.

Yes, but I also triple checked with my glass place during the process.

Had to change my vote, just got a rock chip yesterday, went out this morning and it ran in four different directions. Got an appt to have it changed a week from tomorrow. $500 for the deductible for some reason, it has always been $250 with my other cars.

I'm so sorry, I jinxed you! I have added the special windshield coverage on my insurance, so it now costs me nothing to get it fixed. Jokes on the insurance company because if I have to get a new windshield every month, they are definitely going to end up losing money with me as a carrier. LOL.

Where is the “No, I don’t tailgate” choice?
