I had my windshield replaced today due to a crack. The shop came highly recommended, and the rep did a pretty quick job of the swap. He mentioned to me that the previous windshield had an "aftermarket trim piece" on the upper portion of the glass, and because it was not a factory item, he did not replace it. Now there is a gap between the top edge of the glass and the body of the Jeep. So... am I being BS'd or, is he speaking the truth? |

02's had it but it caused wind noise. MFG stopped installing them in late 02, early 03 IIRC. |

What JJ said is correct . early 03 is when my glass guy said they quit. If he said it was after market and you have an o3 and earlier I would hope that he installs it back. Won't hurt anything but its the principal |

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I have an '05 CRD, but he said the glass had been replaced once before. I am wondering if the previous owner's glass guy installed it by accident... or was this a CRD thing too? I am concerned with the MN winter if ice can get in the crack and frost-wedge the glass and/or seal? ...or should I just go with it as it is? |

My 05 has it. I think the PO had it replaced, as it's Pilkington brand... |

My '05 did not have a trim piece above the windshield when I purchased it. However, when I had to replace my windshield, the replacement guy added one. The aftermarket windshield was slightly shorter than the stock one and he made a little bit of a mess removing the stock one. The trim piece sealed the gap and hid his mistake. I didn't like it, but now I don't even notice it. Looks stock. |

thanks again, I am just going to rock what I have. I have a $0 deductible on all glass (best $14/yr EVAR!) and the glass company warranties the workmanship for as long as I own the Jeep... which will be a while. If the window cracks and/or breaks again, I will just have them come out and fix it. |
