Milky problem also in Wrangler

Good tip for anyone with milky windows in their soft tops.

Up in the air

IT'S hard to say the airbags should have deployed without knowing more about the crash, but my feeling is they probably wouldn't have at that speed. Deployment is a last resort in a crash that would otherwise be life-threatening. At 40km/h the impact would probably have been absorbed by the crumple zones. It was probably low impact, even though the Jeep sustained a lot of damage.
