Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM KIA

My windshield was replaced with the windshield from the dealership and it fixed it.

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.

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.

1 year in and car has about 2 noticeable chips, one directly in drivers POV and other in corner of passanger with a splatter effect of chips throughout.

Not sure if it’s the sharp angle or design of the windshield/material… however super disappointing.

ABSOLUTELY, I have had my cx5 for two weeks and got hit by two rocks on a road trip, both caused huge cracks in the windshield. I was actually pretty impressed with how fragile the glass is.

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!
