Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM KIA

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

My CX-30 just got hit by a sizable rock that flew off a pickup hauling hay on the freeway yesterday and it came out unscathed. I was sure I was about to eat a windshield but the glass was surprisingly durable.

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

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.

Ive gotten my windshields changed for 3x in 1year. Mazda cx30 2020.

I'm on my 3rd on my 2019 Mazda6.

I have a 2018 cx-5 and got a chip in my windshield after about a year. Just last week, I noticed yet another chip in the windshield. Frustrating to say the least.

In the first three months after buying my Mazda 3 I got 3 rock chips. Replaced the windshield, got another rock chip a week later.

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.
