I have heard about this. I want to tint my front window. I have a few friends that have done a 70% ceramic on their windshields. Apparently it cuts down on heat and glare big time. it’s still legal limit. But I don’t want to do it and then be replacing the windshield 6 months later.
About 40k for me, but some rock pits and a starred bit. Two trucks came at 80 mph into a 45mph chip-seal zone just as I was finishing it. It did not make me happy. But the small star is stable. Maybe I can make it into 48k!lol, all you suckas with your new windows… 48500 miles and still on the first.
My wife’s 4Runner got a fast moving crack. Replaced it. 4 days later we were driving down 183 in Austin we got a chip because some jackass was hauling broken concrete uncovered in a short sided utility trailer. Concrete chips were flying all over the place.
I wonder if it’s like the protective film on my iPhone screen? That shit is super tough and probably the only thing holding my ghetto ass phone together. That might be a solution.
I am beginning to believe that the only reason a Jeep’s windshield folds down is to keep the glass from breaking.
At least this one’s not that bad. I hate when it crosses the peripheral view and blinds you when the sun hits it. Hopefully it stays there for you.
Two weeks after replacing the Gorilla Glass on the 392, took a small rock strike low on the passenger side…and of course it was within 100 miles of Boise, where I’ve cracked at least 4 windshields, maybe five. I probably should stop driving through Boise…
That's what my last did, went all the way across and stayed like that thru winter, no car wash all winter to keep it from cracking to the point of replacing. Driver side crack eventually went to the NE right thru my line of sight.
Gorilla is the same shit as any other glass. Mine was gone after a few months
Damn I spoke too soon.
Have you tried Windshield Defense by Racing Optics? It's like a screen protector, but for your windshield. I've seen videos on IG and it prevents cracking
