TJ windshields?
 

I have a good one. A couple years ago on my old '97 TJ the windshield
mysteriously cracked. Parked it in the driveway and the next time I drove it
the windshield was cracked.

Last week my wife used my '03 TJ and parked it in the driveway where it sat
until today. This morning when she drove it again the windshield was cracked
from top to bottom. We live out in the country so I know nobody is breaking
them on me, besides we have several other cars and nothing has ever happened
to them.

The jeep is still under warranty and I'm hoping it will be covered. Is this
a TJ problem? If so is there anything I can do to prevent this? I sure don't
want to pay for too many of these. I remember I priced one for my '97 and
they weren't cheap (at least not as cheap as you'd expect for flat glass!).

Re: TJ windshields?
 

Check your auto insurance policy. Many include glass coverage even if you
don't carry collision. They consider it a safety issue and would rather
pay for the glass (hey, you're paying for it in the end) than for
collision injuries.

I don't have the slip handy but my CJ replacement glass cost somewhere
around $125US, installed.

Re: TJ windshields?
 

Mine has cracked 2 times in the two winters I've owned it... Both times just
starting it up and going back inside. Come out, cracked.... After getting it
fixed this last time, no defroster, no crack (knock on wood)...

never actually had a working defroster in a Jeep before. Now I know why :-)

Thanks for the info. I didn't consider the defroster. That might have done
it. I'll have to check my insurance too.
