Owner reviews for windshield

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

I have a 2019 A4. Had my windshield replaced by Safelite with Audi factory glass, they calibrated it, and it was perfect.

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

I noticed windshields crack and chip easily in freezing temperatures. I’ve replaced my OEM windshield when it cracked during a road trip from Los Angeles to big bear mountain. My aftermarket (FYG) windshield chipped when I took a road trip from Los Angeles to Canada.

replaced one twice

My previous body style tiguans never had an issue, now my 2018 has had a chip, then crack, got it replaced and got another chip weeks later. Had the previous style in rugged places like Colorado where I would get rocks flung up routinely, now it seems like the tiniest pebble will crack that thing.

I have one that has chips and one of the chips started cracking and now it’s going across my windshield ???? and according to car fax the previous owners replaced it twice before.

I haven\u2019t had any issues other than bad luck with rocks being kicked up and pitting the windshield 2X!!

The OEM breaks very easily.
