Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Volkswagen

I had my old windshield replaced through my insurance. The repair shop would use a cheap replacement windshield which in turn didn't sit well on the car and even the VIN number was obscured. It was so bad I was appalled! After some back and forth, I eventually got it replaced again with an OEM one and it looks much better.

I once got an after market replacement and hud was blurry and not usable. Insurance finally approved OEM.

My insurance made me go after market and it took 3 windshields before OEM was approved. The HUD was blurry or on a slat. Or both. It gave me a headache. Once the OEM was in it was perfect again.

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

The original glass in my Alltrack had small pits within months, even ended up with scratch marks from the ice scrapper. Had to get the windshield replaced a couple of years ago and they installed non OEM glass - still good as new.

It’s pretty common where I live to get windshield chips and cracks, but it feels like the CX-50 has a weaker windshield than the previous Mazda 3s that I’ve owned. I’m pretty disappointed in the quality of the windshield it came with.

I experienced the same issue on my 2021 CX-5. Two chips in a week or so of ownership. I never had windshield build quality issues with any of my previous cars.

2024 Mazda CX-30 windshield cracked from first Little Rock to hit it then got another small crack randomly, I believe at least these models do have a awkwardly shaped windshield that makes it noticeable weaker in comparison to most vehicles

Our 2023 ID.4 Pro S AWD is on the 4th windshield since Oct 2023. All 4 have been OEM glass. The last one is horrible … distortions.

I had a CX5 that went thru 6 windshields in 2.5yr period! Luckily my insurance had glass coverage and I paid $50 per replacement but still… not fun. I had other CX5’s and they all had some sort of windshield issues, either full replacement or chip filling.
