Owner reviews for windshield

Windshield - absolutely. I was thinking of getting it but procrastinated…literally got my first windshield incident at 25K miles. I had to pay $500 out of pocket plus $250 for a rental.

For my X5 M comp I go with the ultimate tire/wheel, windshield, ext maintenance (5 not 7). Curb rash one rim and you make it back… WS replacement from crack is the same. BMW glass has gotten softer and more prone.

I didn\u2019t get many clean the camera warnings, but I could see the haze and would save footage from the camera when I thought haze would be a problem and I could see flashes of light completely block the camera. I cleaned the windshield and it seems like FSD is so much more confident overall and I trust it a lot more.

On two of my Mercedes, Pilkington is the OE manufacturer.

The EV6 had a cracked windshield when I bought it. Replaced at the dealership.

My MY 2024 also has it and has been very annoying.

I just noticed this on my Model Y Juniper last week, and no matter how hard i Try I cannot get it cleaned off!! I hate having perfectly clean glass and seeing these!

I’ve got a Tesla Model Y built in **November 2024**. Recently it was in a Tesla Approved Body Shop to repair some paint damage. After the repair, I noticed something strange on my **front windshield**: there are tiny **metallic / glitter-like dots**spread across the entire glass.

You only see them when driving **directly into the sun**, when the sunlight shines strongly into the cabin. Under normal conditions or on cloudy days, they’re basically invisible. You **can’t feel them** from inside or outside and you **can’t wipe them off** – they seem to be **inside the glass layer** itself.

At first, the shop and I thought it might be overspray or paint mist from the repair. They even cleaned the windshield with thinner, but nothing changed. During that process someone actually scratched the glass in my field of view, so they replaced the whole windshield with a **brand new Tesla OEM windshield**.

The weird part:

The **new windshield has exactly the same effect** – tiny glitter-like particles across the whole surface, only visible when the sun hits it directly, again not feelable and clearly **inside the glass**.

Because I was pretty annoyed and curious, I started comparing with other cars in my family:

* **Model 3 (2022)**, first factory windshield, never repainted → has the **same dots**.

* **Model Y (Sept 2024)**, first factory windshield, never repainted → also has the **same dots**.

The body shop also checked a few other Teslas they had in for repair (both Model 3 and Model Y, different years). They looked at **five cars** and all five windshields showed these same glitter-like points in the glass.

So at this point I’m convinced it’s **not paint overspray**, because several untouched cars with original glass show the exact same thing.

Mine was delaminating with 38k miles Subaru replaced it even though I was out of the warranty time period

Subaru glass is really thin especially if you have eyesight. Not good in a low car but it is what it is.
