Helpful Tips Before Replacing The Windshield On Your Jeep Wrangler

Jeep Wranglers are known for their rugged design and adventurous spirit—but they’re also known for needing windshield replacements more often than most vehicles. With their upright, flat windshields, Wranglers are prone to rock chips, cracks, and other damage—especially if you’re hitting backroads, job sites, or trails around North Carolina.

If you're getting ready to replace your Wrangler's windshield, here are some helpful tips to make sure the job is done right—and done fast.

1. understanding why jeep windshield'sbreak more often

The flat, vertical design of a Jeep Wrangler’s windshield doesn’t deflect road debris like more sloped windshields do. That makes chips and cracks more common—especially if you're doing a lot of highway or off-road driving. Even a small chip can quickly turn into a major crack, so it’s smart to address any damage early.

2. jeep OEMvs. gorilla Glass

Not all glass is created equal. Many newer Jeep models come with Gorilla Glass windshields, which are more resistant to impact and flexing. If you’re replacing a cracked windshield, you’ll want to decide whether to stick with Gorilla Glass or opt for a high-quality OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) alternative.

At Goin Glass, we can walk you through both options and help you choose what’s best for your Jeep and your budget.

3. does your jeep wranglerhave adas

Some Jeep Wranglers—especially newer models—have built-in safety tech like forward-facing cameras or lane departure sensors mounted to the windshield. If your vehicle has any Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), a proper calibration will be required after replacement.

Our team at Goin Glass is trained to handle windshield replacements and ADAS recalibration to keep everything functioning safely and accurately.

4. use a glass shop that works withyour insurance
