Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Audi

My dad has a 2021 SQ5, and after an aftermarket windshield caused random issues with advanced safety features like ACC or Audi Pre-sense, we got an OEM Audi windshield and no more issues.

I have a 2020 CX5 GT and had to replace the windshield. It took two months to get the OEM windshield. It was worth the wait.

The 1st time with Audi glass had zero issues..

My SQ5 windshield has been stronger than any other car I've owned. It got hit with a rock so hard at 75MPH that I slammed on brakes and went to the side of the road because it was that loud. I was sure it smashed or was about to crack really bad. There was some powder on it from hitting it and I was extremely disappointed because it was right in my view. Residue washed right off and now I cant even see it. Literally blew my mind. I have acoustic glass in my car (prestige) but I'm not sure if the front windshield has it.

When I bought my S6, the previous owner had replaced the windhsield at some point. Well, adaptive cruise active lane keep, and audi brake guard was non functioning. Audi replaced the windshield for one that supportd the camera and I was told it was pretty damn expensive

I’m on my fourth windshield so far. I try to give semi‘s a wide berth and have a respectable following distance, but no luck. Worst was having to replace the windshield twice within a year.

The OEM one seems quite fragile.

My previous car was a ‘21 Mazda 3. The factory windshield was SO fragile in my opinion. Granted I live in AZ where rock chips are extremely common. I had 3 chips that quickly turned into 3 huge cracks within about a 6 month time frame.

I've had 2 cx5's and they seem cursed with windscreen chips. First one had a similar sized chip within a couple months of owning, 2nd one had a chip that would fail the MOT, so got it repaired, then a week later got another chip slightly above the repaired spot! Never had a car where the windscreen loves being stoned this much!

Had a 16 CX-5 GT and the windshield cracked really bad on the highway when a Corvette zoomed right pass it. This was in Florida.
