I’m at 23k with GG and it’s held up great. No pits no cracks, and I’ve taken several rocks.

Does replacing the winshield with the Gorrilla Glass upgrade help? I have heard people with the GG windshield have been broken as well.
I am on my 3 windsheild on my Mercedes 3500 Sprinter van, very fustrating. It takes them forever to recalibrate after the install.
Gorilla glass is a bit of a joke. I’ve replaced one in 6 months and the new one has several dings, no difference from my ā€˜13 or ā€˜21 non Gorilla.
The best part is the $1900 replacement cost because Jeep decided to imbed the antenna in the glass so you can’t use non Gorilla. ?

Stop tailgating!

You must work for Jeep or Corning. Endless posts on ā€œGorillaā€ glass being not so gorilla. Happy for your good fortune though.

Hi,

Not sure you're driving conditions, personally way too much construction and gravel trains doesn't matter how close or far away.

My wife is on 4 or 5 in her JKUR with under 90,000 miles on it and not much city driving.

My JLUR is now needing number 2 @ 37,000 miles and lot's of highway driving and plenty of construction zones. So par for the course.

Glad some of you haven't had to get a windshield replaced, but willing to bet you will sooner than later...

Regards all,
Jim
