that sucks pdavis53! i am glad to hear you are being taken care of by pomoco. i got mine from hall. i am getting a new rim under warranty this week. the plastic chrome was discoloring so i had them take a look at it last week while i was there for a oil change.

 

Glad to hear the dealer is fixing it and really happy to hear that your daughter did not get injured. Just on a side note I had a friend just barely lean up against the rear sliding window while unloading a hottub and it broke out. I was somewhat amazed as to how thin it was, easily thinner than a 1/4 inch. If you do have the power rear sliding window take caution around it. It cost right at $600.00 to replace at safelite.

 

I went to the dealership this morning(had to bring my wives Commander in for Service) and I spoke with the service guy. He told me that they are putting Mopar glass in it and instead of painting the entire side of the truck, which will void my paint warranty from the factory, they are going to try to spot paint it and see how it comes out. They said if I do not like it then they will then re-paint the side of the truck. I have had good luck in the past with spot painting but I have never had it done at the dealer. Hopefully they are as good as the body shop I have used in the past and everything will be fine. I have never really been a big fan of having to have body work done. Something about non-factory paint that never seems to be the same.

PS. I ordered a set of Mopar Molded mud flaps and the Mopar rubber floor mat's this morning. I got the mudflaps because I think that a rock came up and broke the window, plus I want to protect those side steps from catching all of the road grime. Floor mat's where just extra because the factory ones do not cover enough.

 

If you really want to protect the paint, get the heavy duty mud flaps. The molded ones look pretty but don't stick out far enough to keep the crap off the paint.

 

+1 I sat the molded ones on top of the Heavy Duty ones and they are WAY smaller. Quite a bit narrower and a lot shorter.



I gotta agree with you on paint.... factory is by far the best.

 

I'm glad that you're OK and so is your daughter.
But re-read your thread, and listen to yourself...

You've said at least twice that you think it's a rock that either you or a passing vehicle threw up. Since this is simple Road Damage, it should fall under Comprehensive on your Insurrance Policy - usually with only a $100-250 Deductible - and you've already acknowledged that you have $0 Deductible Glass Replacement.

Yet you are talking about pressing a Dealer who has been good to you in all respects (even before his latest time to step-up and handle your window) for something that probably isn't his problem.

 

As the Mopar Mudflaps go, I've got the same 5" Side Steps and they were aways loading up with "tons" of snow / sand / mud / road material. I've even got slightly wider All Terrains.
The Mopar Mudflaps do a very good job of keeping the rails from getting loaded up. Sure, there is still a little bit of muddy water spray getting on the doors and fenders, but no heavy stuff. And, they are low-enough in profile to not get caught on sticks or boulders or deep rut-sides when I'm 4-wheeling, nor catch wind and whistle or whir as I'm driving at freeway speeds.
You can do worse for Mudflaps...

 

I just want to make myself clear on this, Yes I have said before that I beleive a rock hit the window. I have also said that I pressured the dealer. However I pressured the dealer Saturday morning because I thought it was faulty glass or something. After talking to the Saflite guy and talking to all of you on here my conclusion is a rock. In reality we really do not know what did it. Also on the Saturday I asked the dealer whether I needed to call my insurance or if it was going to be under warranty. They told me specifically, not to call my insurance yet but to wait til Monday. Then Monday when the service manager called me he said they where going to take care of it. I then brought up again for the second time about my insurance. He told me since they cannot determine what happened and I do a lot of business there, that they where going to take care of it. I asked him are you sure he told me yes. So the way I see it is I asked three times if I had to pay for it and they told me no all three times. If they want to pay for it I am not going to stop them. It didn't really matter to me who paid for it becasue the insurance would have cost me the same thing $0. Trust me I did not know which way to go with this but after they insisted three times they where going to take care of it then I let it be at that. I think most people would not even have asked three times. As for the mudflaps I think the Mopar ones will be all the mudflap that I need. I am running the stock Good Years ans only have plans of upgrading to an AT tire but nothing to aggressive. So hopefully I will have the same sucess as you are having on your truck.

 

These are the Mopar heavy duty - notice that they actually extend out to the edges of the tires, unlike the molded ones. I don't normally "mud" with my stock 2wd pickup with street tires on it, but they were doing road construction in front of my house last summer

 

Question for pdavis and oldjeep....

Both of your pics of the front end show a nice fit between the white bumper valence and the center of the grille frame. My valence sags at that point. Did you guys do something to prop it up?
