I had distortion on my original windshield which may have resulted in my windshield being cracked within the first year. Hard to say. I got hit with a good sized pebble on a road trip. I replaced with OEM again no noticeable issues with this oem replacement.
my insurance on my CX9 with HUD would cover only the aftermarket. I could pay the difference but was assured it would be fine.
Three windshields later they replaced it with OEM. And it was perfect.
I had mine replaced... took a good sized rock to the windshield on our Premium trim PHEV. (Heads up display, lane monitoring, ect.) The smashed middle of the damage made repair a no go.
I did it through Safelite and they used an OEM because there was no aftermarket available. Glass Only Repair Insurance saved us $2,000.00 out of pocket after glass, install and recalibration.
I had a CX5 that went thru 6 windshields in 2.5yr period! Luckily my insurance had glass coverage and I paid $50 per replacement but still… not fun. I had other CX5’s and they all had some sort of windshield issues, either full replacement or chip filling.
Unfortunately the quality of the OEM glass is horrible and I had them replace it again. The replacement was just as bad so at this point I've given up on getting a windshield free of distortion.
I just came looking for this post because I cannot believe the amount of chips and cracks I'm having with this car. Just had safelight out for the 3rd time and haven't even reached a full year with this car yet.
My 2016 has NEVER cracked nor chipped...
Garbage. I got scratches from scratching ice of the windshield in my first year. Even my old Renault Clio hadn't had this sh1t of quality in it's windshield.
When I had my CX-5, I've never had so many cracks in my windshield as I did with this car. Constant cracks, chips... I've never seen anything like it. I've been driving for 40 years and this was the first and only vehicle which always suffered cracks and chips.
weak glass from my similar experience. I will say I have less bad luck with the 3 Hondas and they get more miles on the same roads.
