Windshield OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

I personally got my windshield replaced for my 20 Jetta at West Houston VW. They charged me $1400 upfront. However, after filing a claim with Geico, they reimbursed me up to $920. So essentially i paid $480 for OEM Glass installed and calibrated. IMO that is way better than going through safelite

Replaced mine earlier this year on an SEL-P after a rock chip spread. Yes you will need calibration performed on the camera and sensors that work in conjunction with the camera.

Replaced my Glass I had had my windshield replaced when I took delivery of the car. The front glass was scratched. Appears someone wipe down the glass when detailing and scuffed it up. Dealer installed OEM glass and no alignment was required. The bill was $600 but the dealer took care of. Everything works fine.

I've driven VWs for a long time now and I've always thought their glass was more susceptible to chips than other brands I've owned. Stone chips/cracks are pretty easy to get in VW glass.

Very strange how we are all having the same problem here and across other media forums.. regarding a crack windshield on a 2023 Honda crv that is also on back order because everyone in the world that has bought this vehicle is having the same issue. Isn’t strange or just a coincidence this is happening. And Honda does not want to claim or assume responsibility for using cheap glass that once a rock hits it, it starts cracking. I have and had many vehicles and never had a rock hits it and get a cracked windshield from one side to the other, it’s usually just a chip. Honda needs to recall this windshield and start paying for every cracked windshield out there. This is the result of cutting costs the consumer always pays out of pocket

I’ve had 3 windshields replaced. My current windshield is now chipped in 2 spots. I’ve given up.

Just have a couple rock chips now in my windshield, one is quite bad. Luckily, they haven’t cracked yet but I did have to replace my windshield earlier this year.

cracked the windshield right away must be junk

on windshield #2 after tractor kicked up gravel from side of highway. Was surprised as I never had that experience after driving many cars for decades.

I have gone through THREE windshields since January 2023! I tend to think that it’s the height angle of the windshield
