Windshields ‘19-‘22 Sierra

[Tom73]

Do the 19 through 22 Limited Sierras have weak windshields?  I have seen several things on line about broken windshields so concerned about the durability of the windshields. Just cracked mine on a 22 Sierra Limited.

Additional info:  I was searching past threads on windshields and saw where prices were $150 to $250. 
Safelite just quoted me a little over $600 for aftermarket glass or an additional $400 for OEM glass. Does that sound right in todays market or am I getting jacked around?

I would call around to check prices, I do know that if you have options like heads-up front camera and collision alert, the windshield costs more.

It has everything  hud, cameras, etc

Live in the middle of nowhere. No auto glass places around close. Safelite does mobile service here but it is a two hour trip for them.

$300-400 around here I'm not sure if its GM. but I only live about 30 miles from a large metro area.

HUD requires a special glass. You have cameras as well. Is the glass not covered by insurance? I have State Farm and have never had to pay for glass repair or replacement in the past.

Have a high deductible so not worth going through insurance company.

Since you have the HUD option, you need to use the OEM GM glass. The aftermarket glass will distort the HUD.

 

Get a price from your GM dealer's body shop.

My GM dealer said they use Safelite.

So do I. Like I said though glass is covered somehow by my policy and I have never had to pay anything for glass repair or replacement.

I had 3M window protection film installed on my windshield right after buying my truck. It’s been over 1 year and no problems so far. Also had it installed on my 2015 SUV and trouble free as well.

Glass coverage would be in the 'comprehensive' portion of the insurance. 

High deductible for collision and/or liability portions may not apply to the comprehensive section. 

 

Check with you agent -- that's the type of question they get paid to answer.

At last, windshield is replaced and calibrated. Took three tries. Selected Safelite, they are about 100 miles from here but service this area. They come here twice a week. First trip there was a defect in the new OEM glass. Had to order another. Week later came back and installed the glass. But could not calibrate the glass, apparently uses a new system that the installer did not have. Next week came back and got all calibration done, at least I hope so. Will have to check out. 
 

Living a distance from population centers has its advantages and disadvantages but I wouldn’t trade it for any other place  .

 

Now back to the original question, is modern glass more prone to chipping/breakage then earlier glass?
