Owner reviews for windshield

My 07 had OEM replacement done 12 years ago and it’s still great. Zero leaks.

They specifically asked if I wanted OEM glass with the Ford logo or if aftermarket was okay. Iirc the price was the same either way so of course I chose the OEM one, it was actually a pretty good experience.

Figured I should close out this thread by saying I did order the windshield after spending some time with the dealer and their computer. They told me no returns on it if I am wrong about it being the windshield. So $975 (before install costs) later it came in this week and is indeed the windshield.

Went to the local glass shop. Bought the pilkington as it’s a hair thicker and I know other OEMs use them. Night and day. Pilkington glass appears way clearer with less distortions. I’ve driven about 1.5 k miles since replacement and eyesight is dead on- about 500 miles local, 1k highway. No issues, works great in rain, and no random stops or the dreaded eyesight disabled logo.

I am looking at replacing my windshield with an aftermarket product to see if it’s a quality issue.

My 2023 got a cracked windshield within 3 weeks of owning it. The weird thing is that there were no chips or anything. I just started my truck on a cold -40C morning and watched it slowly crack right in front of my eyes.

I’ve had my 2024 tundra for just under a year now. Within that year I have had 3 cracks in my windshield. And one replacement after the first 2 cracks.

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.

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

Ford OEM glass is thin and breaks easy. The sound proof glass or whatever they make. It’s thinner layer so it’s more brittle. More sound material less glass material. I put two OEM in my truck before I finally had enough and just went aftermarket.
