That was 3 months ago and it still looks the same - no crack.

I have that same size crack in mine, has looked the same for almost 2 years. I got hit a couple of weeks ago twice, one above it and once below it that put two little half moon cracks. But the 2 year old one hasn't run yet. So I figure until it falls in, I'm going to leave it be.

The crack on the right, that is the same one I got but only now it reached the drivers side. I've been lazy hadn't gotten around to replacing the windshield yet maybe soon.

Default Cracked windshield

Ok, guys

How many have 2012 or newer JKs. - when you replaced your windshield did you get the replacement glass with the JEEP logo over the rearview mirror and the Jeep in the lower corner on the passebger side - or just not worry about.

Since my inspection sticker is good til October, I won't be replacing mine til then. If you do want factory glass do you go through the dealership or can SafeLite get these. For those who have gotten there's replaced - how's the rear view holding up - in the past they tend to fall off due to bad glue.

Sorry for Hi-Jacking - I figured you guy's have been through this and would know.
Thanks

The difference between the two (logo/no logo) is about $250-$300. I replaced mine without the logo and only ran me about $225 thru safelite. The way I saw it was that it'll prob crack again so who cares about the logo.
