Reviews of Pilkington parts For Business

Last glass we replaced with a Pilkington. It’s lasted twice as long (so far) as all the other windshields combined. It’s had a couple of similar ‘minor’ stone chips as what did in the OEMs. It’s still going strong.

Some Outback owners are already on their 3rd or 4th windshield in 2 years. So far the only solution is to demand a non OEM third party window replacement. Owners who can convince the insurance to use Pilkington glass for a replacement are having far less issues.

Pilkington was a good 3rd party option that i ended up with and has held up very very well.

Just had my windshield replaced ~4 days ago at the local Windshield shop..(location in north-central Maryland). Aftermarket glass (Pilkington = ...large UK glass company, owned by Japanese NSG group, which I am familiar with from living in the UK for a number of years.) The windshield was installed for $375 on my 2017 Alltrack S... (so no recalibration/software updates).

I regularly see Pilkington on Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar vehicles

Safelite replaced our windshield with the same Pilkington glass you have. It’s been perfect so far. 6 weeks and zero problems. This Pilkington glass seems to be a bit stronger than the Subaru glass as well. It’s taken a few small rocks with no damage whatsoever.

Pilkington is the only maker I know of that still makes them. I got one 3 years back.

I got a Pilkington glass and while the edges fit nicely the shape of the glass is less "bubbled" if you will. I used to be able to put my sunshield in between the dash and the windshield via a little space. With the new glass that space is gone and my sunshield no longer fits.

CMBS cameras not properly calibrated since windshield replacement. Dealer believes glass marked “Honda” will fix calibration issue because “there is too much metal” in the Pilkington glass.

Not knowing any better, I didn't specify an OEM windshield, and they installed one from Pilkington. It fit fine, and I didn't see any issues, other than not liking the shading/dot pattern around the rearview mirror as much. It was acoustic glass and it seemed to look (and sound) identical. However, my Ford dealer could not get the Lane Keeping Assist system to calibrate with it. It just wouldn't work properly, and they ended up deactivating it. Aftermarket windshield screws up Lane Keeping Assist!
