Windshield OEM Hyundai or CARGLASS

I got a crack in my windshield on my ‘19 Tucson. Took it to safelite (specialty shop that only does glass repairs) and was charged $700 for the windshield and calibration.

I replaced my windshield a couple months back on my 2022 Hyundai Sonata.

Went with a local auto glass repair shop and they charged $1,500 for the glass and labor fee. They shop needed to special order the glass from Hyundai and took about 1 week.

I bought my venue last Saturday, a week later a tiny pebble hit it on the highway and later noticed a crack. After not too long and it being parked, the crack got noticably longer. I have never in my life had a windshield break like that, ever, let alone for it to just grow.

I noticed this summer when I go over bumps, the windshield makes a creaking noise. It's been getting worse and worse. A technician found that basically the bottom 2/3rds of the windshield isn't actually adhered down to the car anymore. It's being held down by the top 1/3 of adhesive and the molding. This is clearly a manufacturing defect since it's the OEM windshield with no cracks or chips.

My venue just took the first ever rock to the windshield ive noticed and it cracked about 5” and was 2ft my the morning. Never had one continue to break that far that fast. Probably shitty quality to keep the prices down on the vehicle

I have been driving since 1997, many different cars and never ever had to replace a windshield. I purchased my 2017 Santa Fe about 2 years ago, and have replaced my windshield twice already.

After how easy mine cracked , I don't even care if it's OEM so I'm going after market.

I bought the Venue 2023 on Jan 21st. The following Wednesday, driving under a pedestrian bridge (no cars ahead of me) and BOOM, hear a very loud bang and get a big chip plus cracks on the windshield near the very bottom. One crack spread a lot, and this morning I heard the tiniest sound of a rock hitting my windshield and immediately got a 2ft long crack coming off the existing chip (not spreading from another crack). It does sound like I get a lot of wind noise from the windshield itself, plus feels like cold air coming in from the entire front of my car since purchase, which I've never noticed before with my other non-Hyundai vehicles.

Work was done at Carglass Spaanse Polder. First of all, they couldn't mount the rainsensor. Would do it later... When driving the car home, the most terrible lights went on and off, the car stopped, would not start anymore and had to be towed to the Dealer. The cause of this all was a (earth?) cable that had been cut when removing the windshield.
