| Description of the problem | Each time i am on the highway and anywhere within any vicinity behind a truck and any size of debris is thrown up on my windshield.... It causes a break. Each time it has broken.... This size of rock or debris has been hardly visible to the eye. The very last time was a tiny piece of asphalt and it left the biggest break of all. There is obviously some type of default in the windshield for it to break so easily. I am curious as if there are any other individuals having the same problems. I have spoken with many individuals with jeeps and none have expierenced this type of difficulty. *ak |
