[QUOTE="RangerRick, post: 432408, member: 18868"] More updates, Maybe another thing that has affected the windshield on our JKUR is that about 2-3 years into ownership, we installed an aftermarket bumper with a large stinger/fog lamp bar that sticks up and out a bit. This may disrupt the oncoming over-hood airflow stream enough to create some kind of wind disturbance so the windshield is more protected from flying hazards. I haven't had many audible strikes against it since the bumper change so there may be something to it. Don't know for sure but the hood still wiggles around a little at freeway speeds. There are a few good sized dings from before the new bumper but post new windshield, but still none have spread with the huge temperature swings of -30 to +125F temps the wife and I have been in with it thus far. Again, it's an aftermarket windshield, not the original factory one for the last 6 years. RR [/QUOTE]
