"Looks like new"....because it is.

Nice to see it got replaced with OEM. I wonder if that is because that is all that is available?

I believe so, yes. Safelite had to go through the dealership to get it.

What’d it cost? I see you don’t have the Big Black Box, so I’m figuring it was cheaper.

Safelite quoted me a little over $800 installed out of pocket. I ended up going through insurance and just paid my deductible.

Gosh, I sure hope that comes down over time. JK windshields are about $200 if you go non-OEM.

Mine had to be replaced the second week in. It is what it is.

And this is exactly why I got the windshield replacement windshield for 5 years insurance. I have a crack on mine but I'm holding out until it gets cooler outside since I have 70% 3M Crystalline tint on it and that runs about $250 just for the tint itself.

Whoa you have to pay a deductible for glass? My state windshields are covered by insurance free if you have comprehensive by law. Guess we pay for it in the long run but its nice when you have to use it. But at $800 dollars I think that’s good odds considering my quote is sub $1000 a year.

Ditto. Free windshield in Florida.

Mine is soooooo in need of relacement. I do have the comprehensive coverage with $100 deductable, so I am thankful for at least that! Way better than $800

It sounds like y'all went all in! $70 wiper blades and all. When I had 'em do mine they wanted around $450 or so. The next morning I decided to shop around some more so I cancelled. They came up with a survey ( everything is done over e-mail over the phone) asking if the time we had scheduled was inconvenient, price too high, etc. I clicked the price too high box and they popped back with a $140 or so coupon! Two days later the guy was in my carport installing my new windshield, $310 and change. It's not a factory windshield, but hey, you can buy stickers off of Amazon and install any Easter egg you want. Of course, a week later I caught another rock so I won't worry about the stickers until I get another windshield a year or two from now.

Automated… that’s the word I was looking for.
I had a new 1998 Dodge diesel, by the time I traded it off 8 years later I had 3 windshields in it. The 2006 Ram diesel 4x4 I traded it in on went through either 2 or 3, I can’t even remember now. I can’t see a Jeep being any worse. But, those were in Houston. i could get windshields wholesale from a Mexican installer that the body shop across the street used. $110 or so installed.
