Jeep Wrangler Windshield Replacement - 6 Things To Know

Jeep Wranglers are one of the most popular vehicles on the market today. This is due to its off-road capabilities and rugged appearance. While the Jeep Wrangler is a beloved vehicle, there is one aspect that often goes overlooked; the windshield. Windshields are an essential component for both style and safety, but the Jeep Wrangler’s windshield can suffer damage.

Damage to the windshield is annoying and, when the damage is too severe to be repaired, then it’s a major inconvenience and honestly, it's unsafe. Here are six things you need to know about windshield replacement for Jeep Wrangler. 

1. Jeep Wrangler Windshields are More Susceptible to Damage

Due to the flat and vertical style of the Jeep Wrangler windshield, they are more likely to have a rock chip or crack from impact. Especially if you’re off-roading or traveling at higher speeds. The Jeep Wrangler windshield design is iconic and it is the best design for clarity when off-roading.

2. What is the Cost of a Jeep Windshield Replacement?

Cost is the first consideration for most people when they find damage to their windshield that’s so severe it needs to be replaced. There are a lot of factors that go into a quote when it comes to windshield replacement like whether or not your Jeep Wrangler comes with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features, and the make, model, and year your Jeep was manufactured. But, for the most part, replacing a Jeep Wrangler windshield will cost between $225 to $1,200. 

3. Can the Damage on My Jeep Wrangler Windshield be Repaired?

It depends on the size of the damage. Small cracks and chips are possible repairs, but we suggest getting it done as soon as you can. Even the tiniest chip can spread fast, and possibly while you are driving. Repairing your windshield is going to be much less expensive, so don’t let small damage spread so far you won’t have any other choice but to replace the windshield. 

4. How Do I Choose the Best Auto Glass Service to Replace the Windshield on your Jeep Wrangler?

There are several factors to consider when choosing the right auto glass service to replace the windshield on your Jeep Wrangler. You want to do your research first, and the best place to do that is Google. Google reviews are a solid barometer for customer service and workmanship. After you’ve found a place or two, ask for some free quotes. But you shouldn’t jump at the least expensive option. Your first concern should be the quality of the windshield and the experience the auto glass company has replacing windshields on Jeep Wranglers. 

5. Will I Need a Windshield Calibration for my ADAS features?

If your Jeep Wrangler comes with safety features that have technology in the windshield then yes, you will need a windshield calibration. If you skip this part of the process your safety features will malfunction or not work at all. Also, you may be voiding the warranty by skipping the windshield calibration. 

6. Will My Insurance Cover My Jeep Wrangler Windshield Replacement?

If you have comprehensive coverage, which is sometimes called “full” coverage, then your new Jeep Wrangler windshield should be covered, but you may need to meet your deductible first. If you have liability insurance then you are likely not covered because liability insurance only covers damage on other vehicles caused by you. If you have collision insurance or optional auto glass add-ons, those may also cover your new Jeep Wrangler windshield.
