Windshield

[michcsi9]

So I finally have my H3 ( i will post pics when i get back from Vegas this week) and the first day I drove it a rock hit my windshield and made a small crack that I need to get fixed before it runs. I was mad at first but hey, **** happens, i was just wondering if this is common and if the angle of the windshild has an effect on that. Are cracks something i have to get used to or do yall think it was just a bad day.

I have an 05 SUT with it's second windshield reaplaced two months ago. We also have an H3 that we just put our $400 windshield in. That screen costs more than H2 screen. get glass insurance ASAP.

We brought ours home just before Labor Day, and have busted two windshields since. I suspect the price will come down to about $250 after awhile (aftermarket cash) they are small windshields, however glass people want more now cuz its a "Hummer" if I was told if you can afford a Hummer, $800 for a windshield should'nt bother you. I said nothing, showed him my middle finger, and had one installed for $400. Even though our insurance paid for it, I was'nt going that Jerk to rip us off.

x2. Same number of screens at about the same cost. Colorado sucks that way. All the sand on the roads.

Wow, I thought I was the only person that had bad luck with windshields. I had to repair or replace the windshiled in my Acura CL, S2000, and Wrangler all within the time span of about 18 months. I am now paranoid anytime a truck is anywhere near me. I hate that sound, CRACK! And suddenly I am 250 bucks poorer.

Guess I'll to really watch it and not tailgate all the dump trucks that seem to run around close to where I work. I'd prefer not to have to install multiple windshields if I can help it.

Better the windshield than the paint.

$400 ouch. I wonder why the H2 screen is < H3. Maybe they will get cheaper down the road. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The H2 shield is less I think because there are more aftermarket windshields. I pay like $280 OTD for the H2 shields. That's Ok, I hear T- cases and spider gears are cheaper in the H3.

From what I have seen posted, this is a common problem. Obviously it has happened more with the H2 since they have been out for a while but it is bound to happen on the H3 due to the angle of the windshield.
