Windshield OEM Audi or OEM FORD

One of the main reasons I'm hanging on to my 2017 250. It's a Lariat and has some features like backup camera and some other useless features that I don't use. Hell I don't even have my phone hooked up to it. Plus it's paid off 4 years now and only has 83k miles on it. Why take on another payment.

My wife's 2018 Explorer has all the bells and whistles and I can't stand it. Her windshield has sensors in it and costs $1200 to replace it.

I love it nobody can see me.

they put OEM in yesterday (9/4) and fixed the issues.

I opted for OEM replacement glass to ensure nothing fucky happened to Blue Cruise and related features. The Safelite tech will recalibrate the sensors when done to ensure everything functions as expected. Overall, installation was quick and I'm going on over a year with the new windshield and it's been no trouble.

Also make sure you tell the insurance company that you need OEM because of the HUD.

My 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid currently has a chip

There is a significant difference in quality of the glass itself. OEM vs non. I routinely see cars that come through with non oem glass that will just not calibrate after replacement.

My Ford Tourneo Connect has developed a fault where the windshield is detaching from the bonding material, a major safety hazard. I've contacted Ford Motor Company in Spain, but they insist there is no recall for my specific vehicle, despite similar issues and a previous recall for the panoramic roof glass using similar bonding.

This has been an issue since the early 2000s the F250s have that same issue my California truck only place it has any body rust is here found it when I changed the windshield and evidence of ingress. No damage thankfully but ford just cannot seal truck windshields properly.

A poorly placed windshield sealant line on my 2020 F-150 led to water leaks in the bottom passenger side corner, dripping onto the BCM. My windshield guy found the sealant bead run right over the corner, a factory kludge, causing BCM issues.
