Finally Got my new Windshield Installed Today.....5 weeks to the day to get a factory windshield....one interesting fact from the installer as I watched the whole process is the factory seal around the windshield....they took it off and installed a bigger one..which he said would seal better...the factory one seems smaller and is easier to pinch in some area's which was the case on mine at top creating a wind whistle once you got around 50 mph so all should be good now....we will see once all of it sets up....of course there is not much they can do for cracks and rock chips in the future...LOL

Yea....what I said....of course the issue I had was the dealer uses a local Glass Company...and it took him 3 weeks to get one in...then 2 weeks to be able to get to me...sucks but on the dealer's dime...I called safelite Glass and they had one in stock but my dealer did not use them...all in all it's done...

Those are crazy wait times. My local shop offered the Mopar glass and the aftermarket replacement, my choice without any delay. I paid $170 for the aftermarket and called it good. Safelite said they could get the Mopar glass in a day.

Cost drove my choice, knowing that I would go through this again as some point down the road. I still have occasional dreams of driving to work behind a fleet of gravel trucks and no exit ramps...
