Hi Silvajessicam1316,
No way they cover that rear window. Those don't just blow out, or in your case, inward. No way that's a warranty issue. Door seal, maybe. Rear window, nope.
It's tempered glass, it's made to do that (shatter into pieces). Your windshield is different and laminated.Hey Jeep Cares -- here's a doozy. Yesterday while I was driving about 75 MPH on the highway, the rear window on my brand-new 2018 Wrangler JLU Rubi (2K miles) suddenly imploded with a mighty CRASH! The window was closed, the door locked, with a few soft items in the back but nothing even near the glass. We suspect that a rock kicked up and got sucked into the window. But it's SAFETY GLASS and I would not expect a rock hit to cause it to completely disintegrate. Is this a defect??? Insurance will cover it but with a $1K deductible. This appears to be a defect. Can you help???
Please consider this to be URGENT as my brand-new $50K Jeep is NOT protected from weather, is noisy as hell, and CANNOT BE SECURED. This is awful!
Windshield breakage is covered under comprehensive not collision. Usually a smaller deduction, if not "0". I am on windshield on my existing 2017 JKU. Zero deductible is not really that much more than the $100 deductible, at least not with my carrier
I'm with USAA and my deductible is $1k across the board. I'll have to check to see how much that's saved me. I'm sure I've used it up by now with 2 windshields.
:cwl:
I left out part of my message. I am on windshield #4. Zero cost. Comprehensive claims, at least with my coverage, won't increase your policy costs like collision does. I have $1000 ded on collision and $0 ded on comprehensive.
Danw....I have USAA too and they have a additional glass coverage you can add to your insurance for like $30 for the year. Very well worth it and it has a $0 deductible claim. I’ve used it multiple times for the front window on my old Jk. Anyone who drives should consider adding the glass coverage as it’s well worth the piece of mind.
