As for the Jeep branded windshield. The tech at the company I use said that if I request OEM with my insurance they will install it. I questioned him about it costing more and about me having to pay out of pocket. He said that is typically the case, but they are one of the regional distributors for those windshields and it doesn't any much more through them and my insurance will pay. Says that many of the local stealerships get their jeep glass through them because its cheaper and quicker.

This is good to know! Windshield (knock in wood) hasn't had to be replaced yet, but when it does, I want to make sure I get to keep the Jeep logo and Jeep profile in the right lower corner. I guess I'm a little OCD.

I did the same. I actually paid 30-60$ more for my windshield replacement only to get the Jeep logos. Unfortunately for me that didn't stop it from cracking again a few months after... The crack spread and stopped growing so I'm gonna wait to replace this one
Don't follow me, I'm lost too! O|||||||O

Just had mine replaced today with less than 400 miles on the 4 door. I remember in Prescott the used to use cinders to keep ice from forming on the road during snow season. I used to go through 2 windshields a year in the Land Rover. Always replaced them on the same months every year, just like getting the oil changed!

Massachusetts is the same. Free replacements as long as you have comprehensive coverage.

Hooked
Man. I had escaped for little over a year an half and nearly 26,000 miles. Today's storms in so cal meant the normal pot hole appear. A Tahoe kicked up a rock and in slow motion I could see it coming with no where to go. Nice chip and star pattern a little larger than a nickel.
Maybe I'll use a sharpie and stencil to recreate the jeep graphics. Lol.

Nope, not OEM. I have heard that OEM is better but then again ive heard that OEM is lesser quality. Only thing I know for sure is it costs more.

I picked up my Jeep last May, and had it for maybe a day. I believe it was just under 24 hours. Crossed into the lane to exit as a truck crossed in front to get on the highway.... and then smash, nice little chip in the middle of the window.:naw: For anyone who has never used them, Safelite did a great job sealing it so it wouldn't spread. Had my jeep down there on a sat morning, the weekend before going to Moab. And most insurance companies cover it... I think, worth the call.

Only OEM for me. If the company cant get an OEM, they don't touch my vehicles. I thinks its more my OCD than anything else.

I got mine done in Texas, and drove to their shop. I grew up in NH and feel customer service is better in the south. Not sure why they would be rude other wise. One would think they would want return customers. My wife and I both have never had issues.
