I did not see the DOT certification on the GG windshield. I assume the aftermarket windshield does not meet DOT requirements?

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!!!
@Silent Panda , Jason who did you have install your windshield? I'm up by kings island and my windshield just cracked. Exploring options for replacement.

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.
As an aside, do you have no-deductible glass protection? I get mine from GEICO at a small premium over the standard comprehensive.

I lived in Evergreen for ten years. God's country.

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
I fear the FCW is going to be a curse in the long run

I don’t have it, but yeah. I was talking to the guy at my local glass shop last week while having a chip fixed. They are also a certified sensor alignment center. Apparently, you’re supposed to have the sensors realigned whenever you replace the windshield. Or install a lift. Or change tire size. Or... well, pretty much anything that alters the factory stance. He said some high end windshield replacements end up running from $2-3K after factoring in the sensor alignment.

As for Gorilla Glass, it was listed in his order guide, but there were no part numbers available for him to run pricing on. OEM installed was about $725, and what he claimed was the same glass without the Willy’s in the corner was about $375.

I have it, don't need gorilla, accept that it's a jeep. Try not to follow fill trucks. But it does complicate replacement.

Yep, it’s a problem. I went in for an alignment about a year ago and they said they can’t do it because it has FCW. Dealer scheduling was weeks out. So the independent shop agreed to put it on the rack and give me the print out of the alignment, but they wouldn’t adjust anything. That’s all I really needed anyway.

I just tried to order it through my local dealer and they said they can only find a part number for the JK. I'm really hoping to get this soon as my windshield has a big old crack in it.

Do you have a part number for it? Is it a Mopar or is it an aftermarket GG windshield? I'm asking because my brother just cracked his windshield on his Gladiator.
