    I noticed the rubber on my front window was lifting up a bit in between my window wipers last week. Took it in to the dealer and they said my front cowl was warped and needed to be replaced. (back ordered of course...) It's a warranty fix, that's good.

    Today I'm driving down the freeway and my front window cracked. WTF...

    Anyway, not sure if that is under warranty, I hope so, those windows can't be cheap with the radar in them.

    Anybody had these issues?

    Anybody replace the window on a 2021 or up? How much did you pay? I am going to call around today.

    Would you trust a third party to install or dealer only?

    Thanks

    Safelite is a good place to start depending on where you live. I've had a windshield replaced and didn't need to do calibration. Look at what your glass coverage is on your car insurance but it wouldn't be covered under warranty.

    FYI: In case anybody cares. Safelite estimate was $830 for a new front windshield. An addtional $500+ for OEM glass! Wow!
