Windshield OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

almost 4 years under my belt in this car only one crack (sustained in what can only be described as windshield death valley on I-80 in WY)

Figured I should close out this thread by saying I did order the windshield after spending some time with the dealer and their computer. They told me no returns on it if I am wrong about it being the windshield. So $975 (before install costs) later it came in this week and is indeed the windshield.

2022 Accord came to $1,500 for OEM glass through Safelite. They did great work on the windshield and calibration.

I just had my windshield replaced; I've noticed a slight visual ripple at the base of the windshield on the passenger side. Since it's right at the base it's not something that causes any weirdness while driving. I can't say I even noticed anything with the previous windshield.

My 2017 Touring glass is streaky and spotty even when fully clean. 8 years of crappy winters and dusty summers and pollen-filled springs have really made the glass age rapidly. Even during the first few years, it never seemed to get “clean enough” so that I didn’t notice the streaks and spots in full sunlight.

Honda Glass is garbage. They break easily and get dusty/dirty super quick for some reason

My 2024 has so small many small chips in it. I drive the same commute without any issues for years with my old car and then bam. All of a sudden chips out of nowhere. The windshield quality sucks.

My factory windshield cracked in two different places within the first 4 months I had the car. I would say they were smallish rocks that caused the damage.

OEM glass sucks and pits the easiest. Makes sense because my 07 with 78k miles has way worse glass than my others cars with double the mileage.

In my 2025 Honda I bought in May; I’ve had to replace it twice already. I’m not sure if I even want to replace it again with the 2nd crack.
