We love our 24 badlands in eruption green with a black top. It’s been awesome. We got 36,100km on it now. Have had to get an alignment, 1 new windshield, and a new grill because the clip that holds the front camera had broken and a piece fell out. But it’s still awesome.
If you ever need to replace a windshield, spend the extra money and get a ford windshield.
Just got mine fixed 2 weeks ago. Initially, it was a small crack in the top-right corner, and it extended gradually until a cold morning like -5 degrees, then it cracked across the whole windshield.
Autoglass replaced my windshield with original VW one. Great service.
I had a similar issue, also with my vw golf GTI. Insurance also covered the repair with auto glass. They used OEM and the experience was very good.
Ford came out today and told me this is normal in every car. I let them know I never had this issue in my Audi.
I've had several over the years, mostly fine, some proportion variations here and there or where the black fading around the edges is and how thick it is etc, but largely okay. I'd say the biggest thing I notice is the appearance of those Little sparkly rock chips becomes easier to develop on the aftermarket glass.
my ford dealership could not find a chip on the glass. can confirm it was due to the windshield defect - stress crack, they called it (but Ford Canada refuse to see it as a defect i.e. not enough data). my experience with other cars did not have this issue, such as lexus, audi, pontiac, bmw, hyundai etc. others have also reported similar problems with Ford's windshields.
My Bronco will be two years old in January. Its windshield is 3 months old... The windshield before that made it to 6 months old, AND the windshield before that was 3 months old....
I live in Alberta. No windshields survive more than 2-3 years at best. Mine lasted 3 months before it got hammered by a cobble off a gravel truck.
