Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Mazda

I have a 2020 CX5 GT and had to replace the windshield. It took two months to get the OEM windshield. It was worth the wait.

I’ve replaced three Subaru windshields via safelite with no recalibration and everything works fine with the cameras and sensors.

I had the same problem with the plastic piece that attaches to the windshield on my ‘16. Took to the dealership. All was good. Glue from the factory isn’t that good.

My windshield on my 2023 Mazda3 hatchback turbo got cracked from road debris. I had an auto glass company come install a new one, my insurance paid for it. I specifically chose an auto glass company that would use an OEM Mazda windshield which they acquired from a local dealership. Immediately after the install I noticed some problems with the infotainment system. Every so often the screen will go completely black and essentially reset itself while I'm driving. It seemingly happens at random, I have not found any pattern. Although the first time I used the little wheel navigation button thingy after starting the car there is like a 50% change this issue happens. Other than that, it'll just happen randomly while driving. Another issue is the bluetooth connection to my phone now cuts out all the time. This happens even when the black screen / reset does not occur. Also, the wired android auto connection now cuts out all the time. All of these issues started immediately after the new windshield was installed and the sensors/cameras calibrated.

OEM glass is dog shit. I'm on windshield number 5 in 3 years this one has lasted the longest at 7 months.

I’ve had a Mazda cx-5 2023 for a little over a year, I live in a rural area but drive a little over 30min on the interstate to get to work. I’ve had them repair a tiny crack once, then a giant crack across the bottom during winter when I had the heat on which appeared out of no where after I got off work, got it fixed March 1st. Just now I was driving to work and a baby rock hit it and now I have another crack. I’ve never had this happen with my other cars I’ve had, first time having a Mazda and I have seen so many that have a problem with the thin windshield.

Yep. 22 turbo already has a chip. I bought the dent and windshield repair coverage. Will be calling them soon.

Mines 3 months old and the windscreen has a crack straight through it from a stone getting kicked up on the motorway, the chip in the centre of the crack itself isn't that large or deep.

Yup we got one on our 2023 GT within 3 weeks. Got another one about 5 months later. Seems to be a weak windshield?

I had four stone chips in the last 18 months. Two in the span of just six days last month. The luck of the Irish for my windshield indeed on the CX-5.
