Windshield OEM BMW or OEM FORD

as someone who’s got a cracked windshield in every vehicle I’ve owned, the Mach E has NOT got one

I used SafeLite on my X3 and they used OEM glass and no problems. Everything works perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

I’ve always replaced with the OEM ford glass because I like the f-150 logo on the top in my 2012.

Unfortunately, as you can see from how much of it is parts, an OEM windshield is expensive on modern cars. It\u2019s usually worth it, as the third party windshields may not look different, but they often sound different, as Ford is increasing their use of acoustic glass

Windshield tech here. These windshields being almost straight up and down makes them very prone to rock chips, and the quality of Ford OEM glass has been getting worse by the year, it’s incredibly thin. If you replace it I would suggest putting in OE glass instead, if you can, ask for PGW or FYG glass.

2021 X3. Ive had four windshield replacements this year! I have had one replacement in 25 years on other cars, and now my BMW seems to get impacted by every single flying rock. I too avoid getting close to trucks and cars, and it still occurs :(

2025 x7 m60 got the same problem front windshield cracked while parked after only having it for 3 weeks. I think bmw has a weak front windshield

2024 X5, yes same issue. Replaced due to a rock from a truck that was at least 5 - 7 car lengths ahead of me in the right lane. As soon as I got it back after full replacement it was hit again and cracked on the bottom passenger side. Hard to see since so low. The. My husband drove this past week and also endured a chip. I don’t believe the windshields on these are very durable. I’ve owned many cars/SUVs (we lease and trade regularly every 2-3 years). This has by far been the worst.

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.

I’ve already had to replace the windshield twice since then. The first had a small chip on the edge of the glass and it spread before we even got home. The second happened from a chip that was about 3” above the edge below the windshield wiper. The latter we had filled as safelight, and it spread about a week later.
