Windshield OEM Honda or Pilkington

It was $400 installed and its the original Pilkington glass.

My first two windshields were Carlex brand, and they were trash. Both chipped multiple times from minor rock chips that ended up spiderwebbing even after repair. Anything has to be better than Carlex.

My 3rd and current windshield is Pilkington and so far seems great. Shrugged off a pretty nasty rock hit with barely a scuff.

I was able to find a small specialist shop that did mine for $400 flat. Not OEM but Pilkinton. I did not have him do the calibration, he said you don't need it if the install is done correctly. I have had zero issues since.

Replaced with my current glass which is Pilkington and it's been like 7 months without chips or cracks, which is the longest I've had an immaculate windshield in the entire time I've owned the car.

If it's Fuyao or Pilkington they are all pretty great, same as OEM if not better.

Just had mine replaced in my 2019. Used Pilkington as well and I can’t tell the difference from the OEM glass.

Safelite replaced the glass on my 2019 r. You 100% do not want the generic it will not fit and line up properly. I got and oem Pilkington glass and it fit perfect factory I had saint gobain.

I would rather buy the original BMW/Pilkington windshield from the junkyard and get it installed than get one replacement Chinese sh*t from insurance coverage. Replacements are not as thick, they are wavy and yep in general - crap.

My girlfriend is in the same EXACT position as you. <1000miles on 2023 Honda HR-V and a rock hit a similar place as yours leaving a very similar crack as yours. Could be cheap glass, could be a structural integrity issue where the glass is just extra fragile at that area of glass directly above the wipers

My pre-COVID 2019 HR-V took a rock to the windshield and also cracked. The full bill ended up being $1,500 before insurance. Having to re-calibrate the camera apparently adds a chunk of money.
