Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM BMW

Switched to original BMW and it was perfect again

You may not actually need the recalibration… if you have a heads up display, that’s probably different but otherwise it may not be necessary at all. Went through this with my 21 RAV, lots of places tell me, I would need to take it to the dealer for calibration after the new glass. The place I went to said to try it out first and then decide if you need it because a lot of times through replacement does not affect anything. so I got the new glass and drove off, no issues no need for recalibration. The windshield cracked and a construction zone about six months after I got the car. It’s been a couple years and about 80,000 miles since then. No complaints or problems with any of the sensing pack, works like the day I brought it home

Living on dirt roads with many rocks thrown and no issues yet!

I’ve had my glass replaced in 2016 on a 2015 435i with heads up display and insurance covered the OEM replacement BMW logos and all. Only complaint was the tech put a small scratch in my heads up with his jagged ass vacuum cleaner tip but he owned up to it and wrote and signed it on the receipt in case I wanted to make a claim about it. It didn’t affect the heads up so I let it go.

2021 X3. Ive had four windshield replacements this year! I have had one replacement in 25 years on other cars, and now my BMW seems to get impacted by every single flying rock. I too avoid getting close to trucks and cars, and it still occurs :(

It sounds like the windshield may have been replaced with a cheap aftermarket option and not original Toyota glass. Likely the windshield installer did not install it properly or the seal around the glass has failed.

2025 x7 m60 got the same problem front windshield cracked while parked after only having it for 3 weeks. I think bmw has a weak front windshield

21 tundra 1974 edition here and can confirm that its the worst quality glass ive ever owned. I live in florida and have more nicks and scratches then can count. Im amazed it hasnt fully cracked even tho theres a small crack from one of the chips

2024 X5, yes same issue. Replaced due to a rock from a truck that was at least 5 - 7 car lengths ahead of me in the right lane. As soon as I got it back after full replacement it was hit again and cracked on the bottom passenger side. Hard to see since so low. The. My husband drove this past week and also endured a chip. I don’t believe the windshields on these are very durable. I’ve owned many cars/SUVs (we lease and trade regularly every 2-3 years). This has by far been the worst.

I feel like the Toyota windshield’s are shit. It was chipped and repaired 3 times before. Then a 4th rock hit it and cracked the whole thing by several feet.
