Jeep Wrangler JK Windshield Replacement

My crack had grown larger than I really ever expected.  Nothing to do with my lack of exercise, but more likely due to an airborne fraction of a rock with laser-like focus and my Wrangler JK windshield as its target.

Of course, this crack started out like most others. Initially, it was a tiny divot just beneath my passenger side windshield wiper blade.  And then as time went on, the tiny divot turned into a little crack, which continued to grow silently day after day.

Here's that crack splitting through my windshield.  I think my passenger/cameraman may have been trying to make a point by taking photos with the crack in plain sight.  Nice work cameraman!

I was partly dreading the cost of replacing my windshield, however, there was no stopping this crack as it crept further and further across my windshield...which began to make my Jeep look as if it were wearing bi-focals.

So, I contacted my insurance company Geico to see if they could be of any support in this matter.  And as it turns out, they covered the OEM replacement windshield and all I had to pay was a small deductible.

Here is my fresh new OEM windshield being prepped for install.

So, Safelite Autoglass was able to come out to my house immediately and replace my JK windshield on the spot.

I tried to get a picture of the installer removing the original windshield, but he was quick to get the original out and by the time I returned with the camera, things looked like this...

The entire windshield replacement process on my JK took less than one hour.  And while I wasn't watching, my daughter asked the installer to swap my American flag sticker from the original windshield to my new windshield.  That's what I call full service.

Here's the finished product.  Just like new.
