Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Mazda

Mazda 3 3rd gen and cx5 2nd gen here, hundreds of thousands of kms, no chips in the windshield.

My CX-30 just got hit by a sizable rock that flew off a pickup hauling hay on the freeway yesterday and it came out unscathed. I was sure I was about to eat a windshield but the glass was surprisingly durable.

Replaced my cracked windshield. I have Amica insurance with full grace replacement coverage. Simply went to Safelite and explained that I want genuine bmw OE glass. No problem. Just took about a week longer at the time vs generic to get the part in.

Note, I've replaced it with OEM glass, the installer said something from BMW that's the issue, they don't use enough silicon to give the windshield some flex.

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 ????

Had a 16 CX-5 GT and the windshield cracked really bad on the highway when a Corvette zoomed right pass it. This was in Florida.

Ive gotten my windshields changed for 3x in 1year. Mazda cx30 2020.

I'm on my 3rd on my 2019 Mazda6.

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.
