Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Audi

528i xdrive 2014 here ..just experienced my 1st full replacement at 115k miles...just for a good reference

Switched to original BMW and it was perfect again

I had to replace on my RS3 and the windshield came from Germany straight from Audi. No issues and everything fine.

The windshield on our 21 Q5e cracked from a stone chip. Took it to Safelite down the road from our house. Insurance covered 100% and that included calibration. Everything works as it should--that was 6 months or so ago. Used oem glass.

At first they put a non-OEM windshield, couldnt calibrate the camera behind the review mirror, went back a week later and got OEM. No issues for me.

We have had 2 OEM windshields replaced by Safelite on our 2021 Audi SQ7 in the past year with recalibrations done. No issues either time.

I went through 2 windshield in a couple of weeks. First one was because a motorcycle rider in the fast lane kicked up a rock and it hit my windshield in the lower left corner by the vin. I was in the other lane. Fluke accident. it started as a small chip but over the next 30min the crack moved across the windshield. Never seen that before. I got it replaced at the dealer 3800.00 later. A few weeks later I hear a huge bang like something hit my car and a huge crack is now across my windshield. I was not tailing anyone. I think the windshield might have been installed incorrectly or was defective and cracked from some stress. Another 3800.00 and this one seems fine so far.

I think the glass is just really soft. The windshield on my F82 was completely sandblasted when I bought it. I ended up replacing it with OEM BMW glass and now keep a much wider distance between me and the vehicles in front lol.

2023 X7 3 months old two windshields replaced. At this rate I think I'll need a subscription based windshield service. I've been driving for over 30 years, had Ford, Mercedes, Toyota, Doge, and other cars. Not a single chip or crack ever. With the beemer - got hit by a rock twice, each time big chips and immediate crack. And the rocks that hit my windshield weren't even that big (judging by the sound of it I want to say in other cars I've gotten peppered by bigger rocks). And to add insult to injury, I kept extra distance from the car in front of me today (new habit since the last -my first ever- crack), just so some douchebag could cut in front of me to kick up that £#*&¥% rock that cracked my windshield ????

Same car same issue. Woke up to a big crack in my windshield that started right behind the mirror mount. I wash my car myself and I haven\u2019t seen a crack there.
