"Stone chips and cracked windshields are a nemesis for vehicle owners of all kinds, but they’re even more worrisome for Jeep owners, apparently. Some believe Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models are more prone to broken windshields thanks to their upright position, while off-roading certainly doesn’t help in that regard, either. But it appears that help is on the way, as Jeep is reportedly allowing owners to order Gorilla Glass windshields, according to Mopar Insiders.

...According to Corning, which manufactures Gorilla Glass, the windshields offer triple the impact resistance of normal glass and are also both thinner and lighter, thanks to an ultra-thin inner ply that’s paired with a 52 percent thicker outer ply. Jeep reportedly expects around 80 percent of Wrangler and Gladiator buyers to opt for the upgraded glass, which isn’t difficult to believe given its benefits and low cost. What we’re particularly interested to see is whether or not the Ford Bronco will be offered with the Gorilla Glass windshield at some point in the future, too."
