Owner's description
THE WINDSHIELD IS DEFECTIVE - WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNING THIS NEW TRUCK ONE STRIKE AGAINST IT (WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY) (OUR FIRST WINDSHIELD STRIKE) BROKE IT VERY SIGNIFICANTLY - CRACKED THROUGHOUT. I AM ABOUT 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED MANY, MANY VEHICLES - WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A WINDSHIELD BREAK SO FAST AND SO SEVERELY. WE DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS THAT HAVE MADE THE SAME OBSERVATION - MANY ARE SAYING IT IS CHEAP, UNUSUALLY THIN GLASS FOR FUEL ECONOMY OR FOR LESS EXPENSE, OTHERS SAY CHEVY HAS NOT INSTALLED THEIR WINDSHIELDS WITH THE PROPER AMOUNT OF ADHESIVE BEHIND IT. OWNERS SAY THE AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT DOESN'T EASILY BREAK ON IMPACT LIKE THIS FACTORY ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD DOES. I AM NOT A SCIENTIST - ALL OUR FAMILY KNOWS IS THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO HAVE THIS FACTORY WINDSHIELD ON THIS NEW TRUCK AND WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH A WINDSHIELD THAT DOESN'T PROTECT US PROPERLY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS ONLY ONE IMPACT ON THE GLASS AND THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD IS DAMAGED SIGNIFICANTLY TO WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THE SHARP EDGE WITH YOUR FINGER FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS 2 MONTH OLD TRUCK BUT THIS WINDSHIELD IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL CONCERNED AND THESE TRUCKS NEED A TSB OR RECALL FOR OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE, FLIMSY WINDSHIELD.
