My 14 month old 2018 JKU now has a cracked windshield. No apparent impact. It started at about 5 inches 5 days ago, it is now about 20 inches. Lateral direction (about 5 inches up from the bottom) from passengers side to center of the glass.
I want an OE windshield with the Jeep Grille at the top center. Safelite has quoted $534 in shop for the replacement (I have a $500 ded on Comp so this is all going to be my expense).
I made a couple other calls and wow what a difference. In each case I have asked for an OE windshield with the Jeep Grille.
Auto Glass quoted: $299 including tax
Discount Glass quoted: $269 plus tax (7%).
Presented with these numbers Safelite had no explanation for the difference other than to question where the others might be getting the glass. They were willing to scrub $45 off the price but that was all.
Anyone else run into this and what did you do?
I am also concerned about the glass, I drove my 2012 JKU for 80,000 miles without a single crack, now within the first 15,000 miles on the 2018 JKU, the windshield shows damage.
Thanks for any help.
