Windshield OEM Mazda or CARGLASS

I just had the windshield replaced on my CX-50 a two of weeks ago. A local shop handled the install but ordered the glass directly from Mazda. My family’s had bad experiences with aftermarket glass in the past, so that pushed me toward OEM; especially since my car’s less than a year old.

If you’re paying out of pocket, aftermarket could still be the more practical option. I went through my insurance, so it was fully covered, but the total bill came to about $1,700 and the glass took nearly four months to arrive.

The new windshield has the Mazda logo and the HUD seems just as I remember it without any ripple. Unfortunately I noticed some damage to the rain sensor, so am working with the dealership again to get that replaced. Luckily the windshield does not have to come off for that.

Carglasshoz legalább 10 autót vittem az elmúlt években. Minden esetben szépen dolgoztak, 2-3 óra alatt kész is. Cascos autó esetén ingyenes.

Merci pour ce retour ! J'ai rdv ce samedi chez Carglass pour remplacer mon pare-brise. Justement il y a un accord entre eux et mon assurance... Je vais m'en assurer

Zeitnah zu Carglas, aber nicht sofort

I had a scratch on the windshield a few weeks in, then realized I’d have the same issue as I did in my previous Mazda: poor glass quality that scratches even with the windshield wipers.

Mazda windshields are extremely soft, they scratch and crack easily.

Had a CX-5 and now a CX-50. It's pretty much a new windshield per year. They crack and chip on every hit.

Mine cracked on its own the second day I had it.

I’m on my second windshield with a CX-50 as well. I think the factory windshield just may not be that great.
