Windshield OEM BMW or Pilkington

Ask your installer for Pilkington Glass. When my OE glass cracked I had Pilkington put in, that was over 10 years ago and I'm still running the same windshield with no cracks.

Safelite replaced my windshield again with a Pilkington one and it works great, just gotta rotate the HUD a bit.

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.

We had 3 windshields replaced with OEM. The 4th was replaced with Pilkington brand. It’s last longer than the first 3 combined plus. It’s taken rocks that would have broken any of the OEMs. There was NO problem calibrating the eyesight.

I just had to replace mine. The screen we got was pilkington, who make the OEM windshield but it had no Land Rover branding. It was the latest version where the solar attenuation screen is now totally clear. There’s a little thermometer icon on the screen to indicate that it has solar attenuation.

Get aftermarket, it's superior. I've had my fair share of replacements and aftermarket held up much better. Pilkington is the brand you want if given a choice. Zero issues with Eyesight.

Heb me laten overhalen om een ruit van Pilkington te laten installeren op mijn Golf uit 2020. Lijkt er opzich prima in te zitten en de camera is gekalibreerd en lijkt prima te werken. Ik zag echter dat er iets van lucht achter de ruit, voor de (regen?)sensor zit.

Has anyone noticed anything about the quality of pilk glass did a 2020 Honda odyssey that had 2 replacements done on it within 2 weeks originally had a pilk part in it with distortion on the passenger side top so bad that it threw the camera off so much it wouldn’t pass a static recalibration, threw oem in it and no issues on static or dynamic.

This latest 2022 540i has been the worst on windshields. I’ve never once cracked a windshield. I’m now going on my 4th windshield in two years.

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 :(
