Hey Guys,

My windshield cracked on my KJ and I need to get it replaced. Does anyone know a good place to get a windshield from?

Unfortunately, Pittsburgh is a hike from me and they want pick up only.

What ever way you go be sure that the glass is made by PPG.PPG glass is OEM on KJ's and is better then the very cheaply made china stuff flooding the market.

Just remember that a unibody vehicle uses the windshield as a structural member of the roof.

I've also used Safelite. The tech was very quick and friendly, got down to business. That was on the Durango. I can tell my KJ has had a windshield replacement, but they used Pilkington glass. I like the windshield, but can't comment on the service, as I bought it after. :D
