My jeep is due for inspection this month and the drivers door window is cracked. Would this affect me passing inspection? I know a cracked windshield would but I'm not sure about the driver door window.

Thanks.
 
OK Thanks guys. I had planned to roll the window down. Sometimes the place I go to is by the books, other times they don't care if its on fire when I pull in the bay.
 
if they don't pass it, let me know. I know a place that will.
 
A cracked windshield does not necessarily make one fail either (a failed windshield fails under wipers in the inspection machine-- there is no place to fail for a windshield). It can only fail IF and only IF the crack can cut the windshield wipers. In fact, if you have no windshield and no wipers, you can't be failed. But what khwrx said is true, just the mirror counts. (oh and another thing, you only need ONE stop lamp)
 
good to know about the stop lamps.
For mirrors, I've learned you only need 2 mirrors. The usual locations are 2 side view and one rear view, so you can be missing one and still be good.
I've had inspectors ask me about my cracked windshield, asking if I was ever gonna get it fixed. They were never dicks about it, it ran all the way across from A-pillar to A-pillar about 1/3 of the way up. They said if it impeded the drivers vision, they would have to fail it, but mine was low enough to pass.
 
Your fine. I'm a state inspector
 
I was certified for state inspections not but a month ago and they said impeding the drivers vision used to be the way to say yea or nay but they changed it to if it had the possibility of cutting the wipers, which makes more sense because of what category you fail it under.. "official" way to test is to use a card, and if it catches the crack, fail it.
 
Sweey info guys. I need to read the inspections rules in detail just for informational purposes.
