Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Honda

For my X5 M comp I go with the ultimate tire/wheel, windshield, ext maintenance (5 not 7). Curb rash one rim and you make it back… WS replacement from crack is the same. BMW glass has gotten softer and more prone.

My suggestion is to put in a claim to your insurance company and insist on a replacement with a genuine Honda OEM, (Original Equipment Manufacture), windshield.

My Model S plan went from $15->$20 monthly and I’m keeping it. I had to replace a windshield on my BMW earlier this year at $1300 out of pocket.

Good luck in this, had a 2018 Accord and had a "cheaper" windshield installed and it never calibrated/worked correctly. went and got the factory 3x the price and calibrated and all is good.

Bro I have bad news for you, forget about ten years from now, *they don't even support the car today*. I brought it to my Honda dealership where I bought it for a cracked windshield and they turned me away and said they cant do windshields on it.

In over 20+ years of owning BMWs, and 35 years of owning other brands, I’ve never had a windshield crack. Then yesterday my 2024 M4 X40i with 7000 miles got hit by a people and bam, not just a chip, it cracked halfway across. Unfortunately, mine is on the driver’s side, right at my eyeline.

the OEM wind shield on my 2023 ridgeline is the worst of any car I have had. In the first year I had 4 minor chips and one large chip that spread all across the window.

I had OEM glass just installed in a Honda and it has a mean distortion towards the far passenger side edge. Luckily it’s not in my line of sight and I can live with it. But yeah, even OEM sucks. I feel like overall quality has gone down on glass. The replacement glass got a chip in it two weeks later (got it filled).

On my 2022 540i, I went through 3 windshields during my 3 year lease. Felt like the glass with HUD is made of sugar these days.

Same with our 2021 Honda Accord. Our accord we babied and had the windshield repaired 4 times and it was only ever driven on pavement. The windshield cracks when dirt hits it.
