“Gorilla” Glass 😤

[ghstlogic]

I know Gorilla Glass quality on JLs is a known issue, but this is absolutely insane. Driving on the highway up to Amarillo today from DFW to do some off-roading in Palo Duro and out of know where the windshield cracks ~1 ft. No rocks or debris hit and happened right after I sprayed some washer fluid - maybe because it was ~100 and the rapid temp change caused it to crack? Either way this is ridiculous. Only had the Jeep for a month.

I know Gorilla glass is covered under the limited warranty but now questioning if I want to get it replaced with the Gorilla Glass.

Any recommendations out there?

Looks like the biggest waste of $500...

I do not have the GG windshield. I have had some pretty big chunks of debris hit, some rocks and a onion from a flatbed hit me. No issues. I did add a layer of 3M security film to it since.

It sucks to be U, Bubba. Time to contact "Jeep Cares."...if they really do. Maybe GG is a scam?

A 65MPH red onion at that. It was on a flatbed, 18 wheeler. one of his pallets shifted and onions were flying.

Yep already have an appt with a dealer on Mon. Hopefully they can get it replaced pretty quick - been reading some horror stories out there taking a couple months to go through the claims process through Jeep.

Maybe “Jeep Cares” is a scam

Another thread on this forum: Jeeper with the same issue as you....eventually, Jeep recognized that GG cracked on-its-own and replaced the GG at no cost.

I’ve read elsewhere about this glass cracking under sudden big temperature swings, or when the hot glass gets wet. You’re not alone. If you live in a super hot climate maybe call around to windshield repair places and see if they have any recommendations. Won’t cost anything to do that.

You mean, just like “Gorilla Glass” ... ?

I've cracked a Windshield on my old dodge after hitting it with a hose when it was hot. It's kinda crazy that Windshield whiper fluid would do that though. Since it's in the engine bay and ambient temp is high, you wouldn't think that it's cold enough to do that

What limited warranty and how is the glass covered? I know GG has a warranty with it but only when bought after market. The original glass doesn't have a warranty, unless TX has something different or you have supplemental insurance or your insurance company covers it. If there's something else lemme know, I'd be interested to know :D

I don't think Gorilla Glass is all that it's cracked up to be.......

Sorry guys, couldn't resist!

What MilkSteak said. That fluid had to be at least 90+ so I don't think it was "cold fluid on hot glass".

Hope they treat you right. Keep us posted.
