Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM FORD

Safelite got me OEM didn't have to pay much since Geiko covered it. I only paid 50 bucks. Safelite are certified in calibrating. Well it rained in California and sensors work perfectly the same as before.

Had one the next day and they did a great job with a OEM windshield. No issues.

First time all went well, they put oem glass in and it was fast and looked great.

I got a rock chip in my brand new cx50 on a highway, thankfully it was small enough to be patched up by a professional

My 2019 CX5 had 3 cracks in the first year. Had 7 in total by the time I replaced it last year at Safelite.

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!

I haven\u2019t had any issues other than bad luck with rocks being kicked up and pitting the windshield 2X!!
