Windshield OEM FORD or CARGLASS

36k miles and just a small chip that I got in a gnarly hail storm in Nebraska while driving cross country. That was when it was brand new. No issues with it since. Was waiting for it to get worse before I took it in for the windshield recall but it never worsened.

3 years 65k miles and a lot of off-roading and high speed road trips. A few chips, no cracks, same factory windshield.

I have a 94 f150 that I had the windshield replaced not cause it was broken, it just was delaminating and hard to see out of cause it was the og windshield from 30 years ago

Changed a 250 windshield under Safelite, Had the Ford logo, worked exceedingly well.

Was it Ford OEM? Installer said yes. For what that's worth.

The cheap windshield glass is a known issue with the Maverick. I don't recommend getting the OEM glass. The aftermarket windshield is higher quality.

I know how to repair windshield chips to prevent them from spreading myself, but as soon as it chips in the bronco, the cracks spread like wildfire and are >6” before I get home!

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.

Replaced it with OEM ford windshield and was done in a few hours. Got a chip on the way to snow and by the first night it started cracking across middle of vision. Windshield was exact OEM match. Even had the 75 yr sticker lol.

I had mine develop a huge crack just from warming up in the morning sun and then me spraying wiper fluid. I read on some forums that it's a common issue with the Ford glass and that it's super thin or something to that affect.
