So, reality is, I live where it snows and ices up and road salt/gravel is spread out and rock chips in the windshield is a way of life. I’d get about 3 chips in a year with a traveling crack across my field of view, lots of sand blasting on the glass in a year and will usually replace at about end of May every other year when the street sweepers have cleaned up the highways. That was on a typical vehicle I drove with the windshield angled more horizontal.
I’m not even a month owning my new gladiator and first impressions looking at the windshield is how vertical it is and that’s going to take a lot of rocks straight on. So it wasn’t a surprise when I caught my first rock yesterday and now I have a nice crack growing across the windshield.
My question is for all you long time Jeep owners with vertical windshields, how often are we changing out our windshields compared to windshields that have more of a horizontal angle to them?
