Reviews of OEM Mazda windshield

So on our 2019 we are now on our second replacement windshield. The first one was NOT OEM and we could tell. The HUD was fuzzy with a second mirrored image behind it, the lane detection was not as good, and in bright head on sunlight all the safety features would shut off due to the glare.

The optical quality of the Mazda branded glass is absolute trash. Major waves looking to the right and straight ahead is like looking at distance through reading glasses. This Mazda stamped glass is so bad it's a safety issue. Additionally, there were issues getting the camera calibrated; the lane keeping basically didn't work at all after replacement and is still not 100%.

I've had many cars before my 2022 Cx-30 and this windshield has cracked/chipped 3 times in less than 1 year. All the chips happened at low speed, which I have never seen on my other cars. I'm not impressed.

I had my old windshield replaced through my insurance. The repair shop would use a cheap replacement windshield which in turn didn't sit well on the car and even the VIN number was obscured. It was so bad I was appalled! After some back and forth, I eventually got it replaced again with an OEM one and it looks much better.

I once got an after market replacement and hud was blurry and not usable. Insurance finally approved OEM.

My insurance made me go after market and it took 3 windshields before OEM was approved. The HUD was blurry or on a slat. Or both. It gave me a headache. Once the OEM was in it was perfect again.

My Mazda out of no where a small crack showed up in the middle of my travel it was 3” long and by the next day it was 2 feet long When I inspected the crack it starts at the edge of the glass with no indication of a dent like something hit it

safelite replaced the windshield with OEM one , but at the time of delivery i saw a scratch at the bottom, they tried to clean, scrub it , but no success. At last they asked me to come next week as it had to be replaced again.

I was actually happy that it’s not an OEM windshield because mine cracked hella easy and a bunch of people had issues with warping, so I don’t think quality was there to begin with.

Last time I had a windshield replaced by Safelite, they used OEM glass from Mazda. I had to go to my dealer to calibrate the safety systems, but that was before they started advertising that they can now do that.
