Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM FORD

They specifically asked if I wanted OEM glass with the Ford logo or if aftermarket was okay. Iirc the price was the same either way so of course I chose the OEM one, it was actually a pretty good experience.

The windshield has pegs that line up to the car to make the install perfect every time. No other issues to speak of, the windshield and BC is perfect.

Mazda 3 3rd gen and cx5 2nd gen here, hundreds of thousands of kms, no chips in the windshield.

My 21 titanium hybrid has it but is way more noisy than I expected.

At least for NA the newer generation mazdas 2019+, which have an edgeless design are more prone then any previous generation to crack or spiderweb. I see it all the time on the Mazda 3, cx-5 and cx-30. My girlfriend's windshield cracked after sitting in the garage over a weekend. The new premium look is nice but the build issues.

Replaced the windshield on my 2023 CX-50 within the first 6 months. I've never had to replace a windshield on any of my previous Mazdas.

We didn’t get any cracks in the few years we had a CX-30 but it’s definitely on the softer side as far as hardness goes. There were so many small nicks like any and all debris would sandblast it.

'22 CX-30. Got a chip in my windshield about 3 months after buying it. I do a lot of highway driving and try to avoid driving behind big trucks that kick up a lot of debris but sometimes its unavoidable.

I never scratched a windshield in my life until my 2024 Mazda. In the first month! The squeegee put an 8” scratch right in my line of sight. It drives me crazy.

My 2020 CX-5 cracked windshield twice since last year. It's probably the original Mazda branded windshield that is an issue. I drive normal within city, so not much freeway driving at all
