I took delivery of by Bronco this past Friday. I was driving back to the dealership to drop off some paperwork and I got hit with a rock that looked about like the size of a baseball. The freeway has a bunch of construction going on, so I am assuming it came from that. I just hope that getting a replacement doesn't take too long because this crack is so close to the edge I now worry about driving it.

I have heard that Bronco windshields are magnets. I gotta check my insurance to make sure $0 deductible on replacement.

I wouldn't be worried to drive it, but it needs replacing. It won't shatter or fail driving around. It MAY spiderweb more, so although its expensive, it probably can’t be fixed. So sorry.

YES! My agent was already aware that it is around $1000 to replace and recalibrate the various safety sensors..... even the Base model has them!!!
I can vouch for the Base sensors, my collision alarm has gone off twice!

I am 100% going to be making sure that I have that in the future. I just have a nasty deductible to pay this time around.

I always remember people telling me that once it gets to the edges of the glass you can run into problems and they shouldn't be driven so I always assumed that. If that's not the case then that alleviates things a bit.

Had something come off a truck a couple of weeks ago and hit mine. Left 5-6 marks in the ws but didn't break it. Installed the dash cam this weekend and had a bird crash in to drivers door on the way to work. Hell of a thud but no dent.

Sorry for your windshield!

If you have ever owned a Jeep having a windshield with almost no angle to it makes them magnets for rock breaks.
Owned my current JKU for 6 years and never a crack or a chip in the windshield.

Have put 2k miles on my Bronco and took a rock to the windshield on Saturday. F.
