Re: 2008 H2 Windshield different
Sometimes cracked windshields are due to the defogger temperature being turned up way too high. The temperature differential between the outside windshield and the interior glass (the windshield is laminated) causes the glass to break. I've seen this phenomenon on all manner of trucks.. from F350's, Nissan xterras, toyota land cruisers and my H2...
... of course, it could just be a rock but you know, just a heads up.

Re: 2008 H2 Windshield different
I wish I would have known that when I replaced my windshield last month. I called the service department and they said the '08 windshield is thicker and can be put into any year Hummer H2, but it is also 150 dollars more expensive than the one I bought. If it's thicker, quieter and resists cracking better, it might be worth it, however, most of my cabin noise comes from the wind deflector in front of the sunroof at highway speeds.

Re: 2008 H2 Windshield different
I have a 2008 SUT. I had a 2004 SUV. I have not observed that the 2008 windshield is any more resistant to breaking than the 2004. I got three stars in the 2008 windshield within the first 1,000 miles.
