Windshield OEM Mazda or CARGLASS

I had my old windshield replaced through my insurance. The repair shop would use a cheap replacement windshield which in turn didn't sit well on the car and even the VIN number was obscured. It was so bad I was appalled! After some back and forth, I eventually got it replaced again with an OEM one and it looks much better.

I once got an after market replacement and hud was blurry and not usable. Insurance finally approved OEM.

My insurance made me go after market and it took 3 windshields before OEM was approved. The HUD was blurry or on a slat. Or both. It gave me a headache. Once the OEM was in it was perfect again.

Got a chip in the second week after I bought my 2023 CX5. It was so frustrating, I was passing a slow truck and it had just rained and there was some gravel on the road. The rock was huge though, so I think that was the major issue. I have had small rocks hit the windshield but they did not have any impact.

My Mazda out of no where a small crack showed up in the middle of my travel it was 3” long and by the next day it was 2 feet long When I inspected the crack it starts at the edge of the glass with no indication of a dent like something hit it

safelite replaced the windshield with OEM one , but at the time of delivery i saw a scratch at the bottom, they tried to clean, scrub it , but no success. At last they asked me to come next week as it had to be replaced again.

I was actually happy that it’s not an OEM windshield because mine cracked hella easy and a bunch of people had issues with warping, so I don’t think quality was there to begin with.

I just bought a 2024 CX30 and I wasn't even behind anyone when a rock hit my windshield. Didn't see where it hit so I thought whew!, safe! On my way back home, on that same road, I see a long crack form from the side of my windshield. I didn't even hear a rock hit. I checked it when I got out and you can't even see where a rock hit at all! I've had this car 2 months! my old car, Mazda3, had 2 tiny spots where rocks had hit & I was able to fill those so they wouldn't run but this one didn't give me a chance to repair.

My windshield on my 2023 Mazda3 hatchback turbo got cracked from road debris. I had an auto glass company come install a new one, my insurance paid for it. I specifically chose an auto glass company that would use an OEM Mazda windshield which they acquired from a local dealership. Immediately after the install I noticed some problems with the infotainment system. Every so often the screen will go completely black and essentially reset itself while I'm driving. It seemingly happens at random, I have not found any pattern. Although the first time I used the little wheel navigation button thingy after starting the car there is like a 50% change this issue happens. Other than that, it'll just happen randomly while driving. Another issue is the bluetooth connection to my phone now cuts out all the time. This happens even when the black screen / reset does not occur. Also, the wired android auto connection now cuts out all the time. All of these issues started immediately after the new windshield was installed and the sensors/cameras calibrated.

I’ve had a Mazda cx-5 2023 for a little over a year, I live in a rural area but drive a little over 30min on the interstate to get to work. I’ve had them repair a tiny crack once, then a giant crack across the bottom during winter when I had the heat on which appeared out of no where after I got off work, got it fixed March 1st. Just now I was driving to work and a baby rock hit it and now I have another crack. I’ve never had this happen with my other cars I’ve had, first time having a Mazda and I have seen so many that have a problem with the thin windshield.
