Windshield OEM FORD or CARGLASS

My 07 had OEM replacement done 12 years ago and it’s still great. Zero leaks.

They specifically asked if I wanted OEM glass with the Ford logo or if aftermarket was okay. Iirc the price was the same either way so of course I chose the OEM one, it was actually a pretty good experience.

The windshield has pegs that line up to the car to make the install perfect every time. No other issues to speak of, the windshield and BC is perfect.

Not even a week later the karma wheel turned and a huge chunk off ice came off a black Ford explorer and took out my windshield.

I had the same issue with the oem windshield on my wife's 2014 Ford Escape. From the drivers side the blurr was so bad it made my head hurt.

I had 0 rock chips in 120,000 miles of driving prior to my Maverick

In 8,000 miles on the Maverick I have 2 different rock chips on different days. Windshield is garbage

I had my Maverick for a week and got a good rock chip in the windshield that Safelite had to fix. These windshields are shit.

My windshield was cracked about 6 months into ownership. I've also had 2 other solid impacts that caused no damage, but were just as loud as the 1 that cracked it. Something about the Maverick design that attracts rocks. Lower cabin, more upright windshield, I suppose.

The windshield cracks easily. I had the same problem month in. My windshield was also on back order for 3 months the rep told me there was a lot on order and they were having a hard time keeping them on hand.

My Outer Banks I’ve had for 1 year as of this week. I replaced my windshield after 1 month for a crack and then two days later got another. I waited till I had 15 chips and cracks in it before replacing it again. Within a month had two more chips, the windshield is definitely a big problem
