The cost of such an accessory will be at least $ 793. The automaker itself hasn’t yet said if the Gorilla Glass windshield will be a factory option in the future.
The rumor of a custom Gorilla Glass windshield for the Wrangler and Gladiator has proven true, and now the company is officially announcing it. The upgrade cost was significantly higher than predicted. Recall, at first it was only about $ 95.
Standard Gorilla Glass Windshield for Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator 2018-2021 edition costs $ 793 and is available now. The warranty is two years. A windshield with a built-in antenna will cost $ 820, while the option with a front camera and heater will cost $ 927. Finally, the model with a front camera, heater and antenna will retail for $ 932.
In addition, Jeep Performance Parts offers Gorilla Glass windshield for the older Wrangler (2007-2018). It will cost $ 645.
The Gorilla Glass windshield is durable due to its chemically reinforced material. This is used for the manufacture of screens for mobile phones.
The new Jeep accessory gets a multi-layer construction with an inner layer of Gorilla Glass and an outer glass that’s 52 percent thicker than usual. The Wrangler and Gladiator have a more vertical windshield angle than most other cars on the road. In this case, it is more difficult for the glass to withstand the impact – the same stone that bounced off the wheel.
Our colleagues at Motor1.com reached out to Jeep to see if they plan to offer a Gorilla Glass windshield as an option from the factory when purchasing the vehicle. The official representative of the brand replied that this topic has not yet been commented on.
Previously, AutoTimesNews said that Hyundai announced the termination of production of most of the Hyundai Veloster line. The Koreans decided to leave only the “charged” version of the model.
