I had a similar issue, also with my vw golf GTI. Insurance also covered the repair with auto glass. They used OEM and the experience was very good.
Pros: experience was very good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I've had several over the years, mostly fine, some proportion variations here and there or where the black fading around the edges is and how thick it is etc, but largely okay. I'd say the biggest thing I notice is the appearance of those Little sparkly rock chips becomes easier to develop on the aftermarket glass.
Pros: largely okay
Cons: sparkly rock chips easier

Our 2023 ID.4 Pro S AWD is on the 4th windshield since Oct 2023. All 4 have been OEM glass. The last one is horrible … distortions.
Cons: horrible distortions

I had some stuff done, added a couple of things, and washed my 2010 MK6 Golf TDI (manual) with 205K miles. New windshield - OEM VW from Safelite - replaced severely pitted original windshield after 200K+ miles It feels very good driving my clean car with the new bits!
Pros: feels very good
Cons: original windshield pitted

windshield randomly cracked in the summer heatwave. No impact yet vw refuses to replace it. These are obviously defective. Don't know what course of action is appropriate but I'm not happy.
Cons: randomly cracked, defective
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
The new windshield sucked and had distortions in multiple places and around the edges. It was really inferior, irritating, and we never got used to it.
Cons: distortions, inferior quality

Just got my windshield replaced again for the third time because the previous two had ripples in them, now I got an OEM VW windshield installed and they told me it’s normal to have some slight waves in the windshield. I thought OE or OEM would be better but it’s kinda the same as the other non OE windshields.
Cons: ripples, slight waves
Full replacement in October and 3 star chips filled this month. The replacement was a nightmare, they ordered OEM, but didn't realize there are different windshields for different trim levels until they'd installed it and couldn't connect the rearview mirror. Can't say its a defect since it was a decent sized gravel each time while driving 75.
Cons: installation nightmare, trim level incompatibility
