Well I made it 2.5 years before I finally got a crack in the windshield. I’ll probably wait until it either gets a few inches longer or if it starts splintering out. What’s the going price on replacement these days?

May be a record, I lasted 2 1/2 months. I had glass coverage, I don't remember what they charged insurance.

Picked my ‘20 up on 9/5/19. 47k +/- miles on it. All kinds of roads and some mild off road. Still original windshield. No cracks or chips. Oh one other thing…. Jeep is not stored in a garage.

Damn, you are doing good! I caught a stone at 647 miles and got a crack 3/4 of the way across

In FL windshield replacement is free as long as you have full coverage insurance.

Hope you find a good price.

That must be a record! We've had wifes 2019 for 2.5 years and just got a chip in its 3rd windshield. We just paid insurance deductible on the replacements.

Oh also to add…. About 2 months into ownership, my family and I were cruising down the road…. Probably 45 - 50 mph and a large crow decided to end its life. Fly “dead” center into my windshield. I thought…. Great, here we go. But to my amazement….. nothing.

Took almost 4 years for my windshield to finally crack. Took several rocks throughout that time without any problem. It was the hit I didn't notice that did the windshield in. While I was driving to my Brother's house in Virginia I noticed a crack that was not there a few minutes before was jutting up on the passenger side, about 1/3 of the way up the height of the windshield. It had grown and was spidering out a few days later when I got back home.

I took it in to Safelite, paid a $250 deductable and then my insurance paid the rest of the bill on a new Mopar windshield. I hope this one lasts even longer than 4 years.

My first windshield lasted about 1 year. The 2nd one lasted 48 hours. :( I think the longer the first windshield lasts, the less time the 2nd one lasts. lol So don't brag how long your first windshield lasts, you might jinx yourself. ;)
I'll just avoid those armor piercing rocks they have in VA. :CWL:

Purchased in August, just chipped my 2nd windshield. Going to let this one sit a while until it spiders out.
