Windshield OEM BMW or Pilkington

I regularly see Pilkington on Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar vehicles

Safelite replaced our windshield with the same Pilkington glass you have. It’s been perfect so far. 6 weeks and zero problems. This Pilkington glass seems to be a bit stronger than the Subaru glass as well. It’s taken a few small rocks with no damage whatsoever.

Pilkington is the only maker I know of that still makes them. I got one 3 years back.

I put an aftermarket Pilkington windshield in mine and have no problems with it.

Called one and they worked it to get an OEM windshield through my BMW dealer and installed themselves. HUD, collision and rain sense all working as before. No issues.

It was $400 installed and its the original Pilkington glass.

My first two windshields were Carlex brand, and they were trash. Both chipped multiple times from minor rock chips that ended up spiderwebbing even after repair. Anything has to be better than Carlex.

My 3rd and current windshield is Pilkington and so far seems great. Shrugged off a pretty nasty rock hit with barely a scuff.

I have had pilkington glass before and they are a decent piece of glass, but not nearly as strong a Sekurit.

Hi. I purchased windshield replacement protection (insurance) for my 2018 x1 through my local BMW dealer. The windshield got a chip and the dealership patched the chip saying the windshield did not need to be replaced. The window then cracked all the way across a few months later and my claim was denied because the windshield was already chipped. Annoying to say the least, that I bought windshield protection but am not allowed to use it to replace my cracked windshield and had to pay full price for a new windshield. Needless to say I won't buy the add on protection services again.

Pilkington, worn out in 2 years to matt surface spots, 1 set of Bosch wipers, rarely used (3-5 times a year).
