Acoustic Windshield Delamination

[Cherokee]

Designed to prevent ejection so it is easier for first responders to collect your non-restrained, crumpled body from the dash rather than having to hunt the side of the road for all of the pieces.

Exactly !

My windshield was replaced by Safelite under a State Farm policy. It's a FUYAO brand and it specifically mentions Acoustic glass in the MFR label. My mention above about the many short cracks led me to believe it's an inferior product, but the initial post indicates the OEM windshield does the same thing. I originally thought of stress in the glass during a bending process but it seems these windshields are pretty flat.

FUYAO brand sounds Chinese

Safelite will replace the OEM with a comparable. That included acoustic glass on my Maverick, because that is what I had before. If I didn't know it was Safelite, there would be no way to tell the difference.

I remember when I bought my Volvo V90 and actually I was doing business with the Volvo dealership so I was adamant about getting a "Volvo" windshield to be loyal to the dealership....and, then my insurance at the time was with Allstate and since I was not opting for the Safelite channel, I had to pre-pay and it took me 3 months to get reimbursed. It turns out, the Volvo dealership still ended up buying the glass from Safelite.
