Owner reviews for windshield

I ended up going through a reputable local glass shop near me who was able to order the OEM glass from Hyundai (took several weeks) and cost about ~$1,600. They didn’t need to do any camera calibration since they didn’t have to move any camera modules. I haven’t had any problems since then. As for whether to get OEE vs OEM? Really up to you but I really preferred to have the OEM just for peace of mind, especially with a HUD and all.

The windshield has pegs that line up to the car to make the install perfect every time. No other issues to speak of, the windshield and BC is perfect.

I replaced a windshield in my 2023 Camry this year and it was $800. The Toyota dealerships near me do not replace windshields and told me to go with a local windshield replacement business. The business brought my car to the Toyota dealership after installing the new windshield to have everything calibrated.

OP I was just in the same boat. BMW Seattle wanted $3,000. I went through Safelite, paid $500, and got an OEM Pilkington windshield. They even calibrated everything for me and I haven\u2019t had a single issue in the 3 weeks of having it.

When you get your first replacement, don’t get an OEM get a Pilkington brand.

I've had my windshield crack on all three of my subarus. Last time I went in last year with my 2020, the guy at safelite told me they are prone to breakage because of the angle they're at. They said they get subs and jeeps the most because of this

As for weak glass on Subarus? Probably not exactly what you think. IIRC, Subaru has started designing their frames to include the windshield as a structural component. This allows them to have smaller A-Pilars, which have grown to be massive these days. The downside of this is that a rock strike that you would normally brush can grow as the new weak point is challenged by the frame. What causes our windshield replacement was a hit that caused a quarter-sized crack, at the start of a 10 hour road trip. I watched that crack grow to 18 inches over that trip. While thermal expansion and frost could do that on older cars, I’ve never seen a crack grow quite like that.

safelite replaced the windshield with OEM one , but at the time of delivery i saw a scratch at the bottom, they tried to clean, scrub it , but no success. At last they asked me to come next week as it had to be replaced again.

I have a 2021 Lexus ux, my windshield was cracked so I went to dealership to replace the windshield. They installed the aftermarket windshield which XYG.

I put factory glass in my wife's new CR-V. It was nothing but drama. My Honda parts friend/ manager got me the glass at an excellent price but we had to check for damage before I signed for it. Out of the box it comes and was perfect. So load it back in the box, into the CR-V and off to the glass dude.
