I am on my 3rd windshield and this one needs replacing.
Up here they put sand/gravel on the highways in the winter. With the jeeps windshield being so vertical I need to replace it at least once every winter.
It ususwllay starts with a small crack, then with the heat inside the jeep and cold outside, it always crack. Actully pretty common here in Canada, but the JK seems to take a few more chips than usual.

Mine has they typical "speckled" look from road debris, and one chip had to be filled, but luckily no actual cracks as of yet. 2007 BTW.
I also just realized that I just jinxed myself, and I'm going to walk out of the office this afternoon with a 36" crack all the way across for no good reason.

Nope.. no problems in my 08. I can attribute this to two things.. I only have 14k miles on my rig and not alot of highway driving in it and the River Raider limb risers that have saved my windshield more times than I can count off road.
Smurfette, 2010, also has had no windshield problems.. can attribute that one to luck.
Project Double D's, 2007, never had issue either.

The rubicon is a 29 km. river in northern Italy. "Crossing the rubicon" is a popular idiom meaning to pass a point of no return. Originating from Ceasaer's 49 BC crossing of the river, which was considered an act of war

2008, took delivery 8/09/2007. No unexplainable our unusual damage...
91500 miles and about six chips by stones/gravel from the road, none in the driver's view. Final blow a couple months ago rock chip at the bottom center of the glass, came straight up a few inches and took a 90 degree turn. We have yet to replace it.

mine cracked after a week of having it and that was over a year ago. our first winter wife kicked on the defrost, and over an entire day, watched it move from the to center of the glass straight down the middle and then go right across the passenger side.

2008 with 50,000 miles; 6 or 7 chips from road debris and gravel; 1 large chip from hitting a large branch whilst wheeling; 2 chips in the line of sight, but don't bother me. Haven't looked at repairing or replacing until the windshield starts to crack.

2008, happened in 2010.
I had a dump truck throw a boulder at mine while doing 70 down the highway... 1" off the driver side A pillar, halfway up... started as a chip and within a few weeks, it cracked.
SC is a $0 deductible state for windshields. so free replacement.

on my 2nd, getting a 3rd ASAP. The first one developed a 6" crack from the bottom of the driver side going straight up for no apparent reason, so I replaced last year. About 2 months ago, I was driving through a really overgrown trail and a small branch hit the windshield, which developed a crack in the same spot as the last one.

Have an 07 that has had a crack going from the bottom drivers to the middle of the passenger side since about 08. Was going down the interstate and a rock hit it. Within seconds it had spread across the width of the glass.
