Reviews of Pilkington parts For Business

I find that they all vary. Even the 2977. Haven\u2019t run into issues from it though, yet.

I also got a pilkington replacement about 6 months ago. No problems with it, and at this point I entirely forgot.

Same thing happened to me and ended up with the Pilkington glass. Actually like it more than the OEM since there's less visual distortion.

Does your local shop carry Pilkington? That’s a good OE brand that Audi used throughout the years, I think. Pilkington is a supplier for Mercedes too. I’ve had them in my cars and haven’t had any issues.

Pilkington is usually made better in my opinion. Any manufacturer can have issues including OEM. For my vehicles I use Pilkington, its the closest to OEM.

Pilkington is my favorite but they’ll all work, just looks nicer/ more hydrophobic at first

The glass installed was Pilkington. Pilkington is the OEM glass for my three Mercedes and Ferrari. Look at your windshield. The manufacturer is on it. That is what you want. Next time I got a chip, I called Safelite and asked if they could get me Pilkington glass. They said yes, showed up and replaced it. Happened a third time, and Safelite did it a third time.

The aftermarket Pilkington glass I got doesn't sit quite the same against the dashboard and headliner but it's acceptable. Figured I'd go for it after reading a few posts about the OEM Carlex glass cracking on the various Subaru subs.

I had a Pilkington windshield put on my 2008 Malibu to replace the OEM. It chipped extremely easy compared to the OEM. Even the tiniest little pebbles caused big chips in the glass. I replaced the OEM glass in 2021 due to a tree limb falling on it and shattering it. The Pilkington windshield now has several cracks along the entire windshield. Also took Safelite 4 attempts to find a windshield that wasn't wavy or scratched.

'22 and on my third windshield. One was covered by Subaru and one had to pay insurance deductible. I had both Carlex and Pilkington glass and both cracked
