2nd windshield. Any ideas on how to prevent more chipped windshields. Plexi glass or a screen in front of windshield? Will try bug deflector, let me know what works, Please. Parts department said Gorilla glass not available for Gladiator and windshield repair guy did not think applications work. Gravel shoulders on roads are problem. Thank you.

Just received the Gorilla Glass windshield yesterday, took a while since I ordered 8/31. Need to schedule in with my local glass shop, good folks but had NO idea what I was talking about when I asked after Gorilla Glass.

Getting a Mopar windshield installed was $545 - $575 so $$770 + $100 install with a 2 yr breakage warranty penciled out for me.

Thank you for your assistance. This is happened with my order; Thank you for joining the JEEP early bird list. We will get in touch with you as soon as JEEP products are available. Let me know how yours works. Might be a little while. Hope I can find an approved installer.

I just ate my first rock yesterday and prayed for it not to run, but walked out after work and it sure ran. So have you been happy with the Gorilla Glass? I have not seen anything about install on the HGP site. Did the installer have any issues? Need special equipment, etc? Thanks!

Got it Thursday, I'll schedule it installed with my preferred local glass shop.

It's just a windshield, there was verbiage about it being shipped to a qualified installer but that conversation never happened. It's not a big deal, it's not like it's that different to other auto glass.

I've brought in specialty parts to them before, like the gigantic rubber grommet that holds the rear window on an old Ford Ranger. Mine got cut out by a yoot burgling my truck, they got the glass and told me to save money and bring the rubber donut to them from the local Ford garage.

The main benefit to my mind is NOT having another broken windshield, and if it happens again, I've got a 2 yr replacement warranty. My $500 deductible puts a regular windshield replacement firmly out of pocket, so I'm playing the odds of coming out ahead either way.

Thanks! I e-mailed HGP because their warranty says it is supposed to be installed by an Authorized Service Representative. That is crappy if they don't have installers in the area. I'll probably just roll the dice and order now. Cheers!

I ordered from HGP on Monday and they had $200 off this week for their anniversary. That will pay for the install. Glass gets to my house today via FedEX. HGP has been great and very responsive. No Jeep in the corner, but I have a gorilla instead! Cheers!

Man, your states all suck! AZ makes the insurance companies offer glass replacement with no deductible. I got 7 chips within my first month and one 19 hours after getting my windshield replaced. I get 2 or 3 windshields a yr and I'm not sure how many chip repairs. I had 5 windshields replaced and about 9 chips on my F150 and never was told no or out of pocket.

Yeah, I lived in FL and they had free replacement. VA not so cool with that.

I received my windshield in a week and HGP identified a local installer and everything. They were great and I have had no problems since install. Knock on wood of course! Cheers!

Widshield Wizard, they had Mopar glass before anyone else could get to me, and they can also get gorrila glass, waiting for that.
