Windshield OEM Honda or Pilkington

Went to the local glass shop. Bought the pilkington as it’s a hair thicker and I know other OEMs use them. Night and day. Pilkington glass appears way clearer with less distortions. I’ve driven about 1.5 k miles since replacement and eyesight is dead on- about 500 miles local, 1k highway. No issues, works great in rain, and no random stops or the dreaded eyesight disabled logo.

OP I was just in the same boat. BMW Seattle wanted $3,000. I went through Safelite, paid $500, and got an OEM Pilkington windshield. They even calibrated everything for me and I haven\u2019t had a single issue in the 3 weeks of having it.

When you get it replaced see if you can get Pilkington glass. It is supposedly much more durable. I've had my Pilkington windshield take a few rocks and she is still going well so far.

If I was paying for it out of pocket, I would run with a non OEM windshield from Pilkington. They are a premium auto glass manufacturer with better performing glass for UV protection, cooling, sound and durability.

Safelite did mine last month for $950 all in. Pilkington glass.

Brand is Pilkington (OEM) without the Honda logo. Mine doesn't have any sensors on the windshield (LDW).

I got a Pilkington glass and while the edges fit nicely the shape of the glass is less "bubbled" if you will. I used to be able to put my sunshield in between the dash and the windshield via a little space. With the new glass that space is gone and my sunshield no longer fits.

tengo un 2021 hrv y mi parafrisas también se rompio..no lo golpeo ni le cayó nada..simplemente se formo la grieta...sin dudas es un defecto

I can’t stand looking thru the windshield and the factory one is just about an inch too tall on its lowest adjustment. It was one of the first things I replaced when I got my wing.

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
