Windshield delaminating?

[SDXLT]

Has anyone seen this issue happen and gotten it covered under warranty? Truck is a 2021 with 18k miles.

Any risk with just leaving it? I am sure they will just use Safelite or someone similar to put in an aftermarket windshield.

Thanks my Google search didn’t turn that thread up. Kids you can delete if needed. Otherwise I’ll report back what the dealer does

That’s a terrible glare inducing issue, especially at night. One question, did you use “Rain X” or a comparable product? Reason asked, had this snowflake “look” happen on 2 vehicles after not reapply “Rain X” at prescribed time. One was a dealer applied “pretective/anti glare coating” Older it got from initial application, more it spread. Dealer had quit using and used a treatment to remove. Happened about a decade ago, so vehicles have long been traded. Never used this typevproduct again. Those who regularly apply don’t have issue.

I just turned 20k on my 21 OMG one more thing to worry about on our trucks, this is getting crazy, I bought a new truck because I didnt want to worry about any thing for 10 years! and now the truck I picked has many issues, I am not a happy camper ....
the radio could go out tomorrow, the tranny could go out, many engine issues, the drive shaft, blend door etc.....
if they were turning out a quality product with Union Pride I could see paying them more, But!

Whenever I have Safelite replace a windshield, I always get the OEM replacement.
I would think you could be able to specify that if you have the dealer replace it. I can't imagine your dealer actually replacing under warranty anything BUT an OEM windshield, but I guess you never know, do you?
Best to insist on it, just to be sure. Look for the RANGER logo bottom center of windshield to be sure.
Best of luck!

Safelite replaced a cracked windshield on my Ranger. Insurance spec'd aftermarket, Safelite noted aftermarket as 'not available' and used an OEM.

My insurance Co (Traveler's) never flinches when I request OEM. I have an appreciation for that.

I hear you. My family has a history of heart disease, so to prevent any future problems, I'm going to schedule a heart transplant. Just in case.

Is warrantable without a doubt in my mind. Will also be an OEM replacement as well per Warranty policy.
