My windshield is near unsafe at this point. I have full cracks from top to bottom and circular ones as well.

Anyone have experience with the gorilla glass replacement? I will be replacing windshields bi-annually at this rate.

To my knowledge it still isn't available yet. I just had my windshield replaced in August, and the salesman told me that it was, but after I asked him to make sure, he found that the part he was looking at was for the JK Wrangler not the JL.

Yeah.. I'm doing some deep research now and can't locate a GG replacement. Any other options or just shell out the $600 or whatever they want for standard?

I payed less than 200 for a non mopar replacement glass from a local installer. Safelite charges more than the local places sometimes

I have a Safelite windshield in mine. It is WAY more durable than the stock windshield. My original windshield cracked in the first 3k miles. I have over 20k miles on the Safelite and it has shrugged off some substantial hits.

I got my Gorilla Glass windshield in early September. I just finished a long road trip from Cincinnati, Ohio to Boulder, Colorado then Moab then down to Trail Hero in Hurricane, Utah then home to Cincy.

Over 3700 miles!

No cracks in the new Gorilla Glass!!!

I heard it was available now. I never got mine repaired because I knew it was coming. Figured I would wait until winter temps completely destroyed it.

Good to hear!!!

I'm glad to learn about the Gorilla Glass option. PA has annual vehicle Safety inspections, and they are strict as it concerns the type, size and location of windshield damage. Voice of experience here. It's why we have a zero deductible on our policy's Comprehensive line item.

I'd get pulled over if my vehicle had anything close to some of the damage described in this thread.

I'm on my 2nd windshield in 23,500 (19 months ownership) miles. Long term one will have the GG windshield. I actually think these windshields are good -- literally every other vehicle I've owned here in AZ has had worse luck in terms of chips (13 vehicles since 2010), but I realize I'm in the minority.

So far, so good. Put a few thousand miles on it since then. Had a couple of rock strikes, but no chips or cracks.

I heard a couple days ago it was available, went to check it out, but no love for us with the forward collision warning system. Still waiting. I’d like to replace mid November after I get back from a Moab trip
