| Description of the problem | Please check if there is a flaw in 2018-20 jeep wrangler windshields. They easily crack, multiple times. There are entire websites and community groups experiencing this problem. I also own a 2014 wrangler, and have replaced the windshield twice. With my 2019 model, i have had multiple cracks and replaced two windshields in under 3500 miles of a brand new car. Yet, the 2019 model has a more angled windshield than the previous model. The issue occurs at road to highway speeds and simple pebbles. Again, my two replaced windshields had multiple streaks, cracks, spiders, et al before replacing. Something is wrong with the glass jeep/mopar use. |
