Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Audi

I had mine replaced... took a good sized rock to the windshield on our Premium trim PHEV. (Heads up display, lane monitoring, ect.) The smashed middle of the damage made repair a no go.

I did it through Safelite and they used an OEM because there was no aftermarket available. Glass Only Repair Insurance saved us $2,000.00 out of pocket after glass, install and recalibration.

Got OEM glass, no more distortion, much more quiet.

My 2016 has NEVER cracked nor chipped...

I had to replace on my RS3 and the windshield came from Germany straight from Audi. No issues and everything fine.

We've owned several Mazdas for the last 10-15 years. We had one windshield crack after being hit by a rock from a passing truck. After years of use, we've had no issues with cracked windshields.

weak glass from my similar experience. I will say I have less bad luck with the 3 Hondas and they get more miles on the same roads.

So on our 2019 we are now on our second replacement windshield. The first one was NOT OEM and we could tell. The HUD was fuzzy with a second mirrored image behind it, the lane detection was not as good, and in bright head on sunlight all the safety features would shut off due to the glare.

The optical quality of the Mazda branded glass is absolute trash. Major waves looking to the right and straight ahead is like looking at distance through reading glasses. This Mazda stamped glass is so bad it's a safety issue. Additionally, there were issues getting the camera calibrated; the lane keeping basically didn't work at all after replacement and is still not 100%.

I've had many cars before my 2022 Cx-30 and this windshield has cracked/chipped 3 times in less than 1 year. All the chips happened at low speed, which I have never seen on my other cars. I'm not impressed.

my Audi A6 got which I had for 7 years got 2 in one week.
