Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM BMW

I replaced a windshield in my 2023 Camry this year and it was $800. The Toyota dealerships near me do not replace windshields and told me to go with a local windshield replacement business. The business brought my car to the Toyota dealership after installing the new windshield to have everything calibrated.

If you have the rain-sensing wipers, you will need OEM toyota glass because the rain sensor depends on the optical characteristics of the windscreen. My local Safelite assured me their glass would work, but it didn't (the wipers would run on random but frequent intervals), so they put in a second third-party windscreen, and it didn't work either. So I had them put in a third windscreen (they went with OEM), and everything was fine after that. OEM is an extra-cost option on the first install but it costs 40% more.

Replaced my cracked windshield. I have Amica insurance with full grace replacement coverage. Simply went to Safelite and explained that I want genuine bmw OE glass. No problem. Just took about a week longer at the time vs generic to get the part in.

Note, I've replaced it with OEM glass, the installer said something from BMW that's the issue, they don't use enough silicon to give the windshield some flex.

What kind of cheap glass did Toyota use on these 2019+ RAV4?? I keep seeing them cracked.

Just cracked my second windshield on my rav 4 in 3 months.

The windshields are POS. Can’t tell how many stone chips I got.

My 2023 got a cracked windshield within 3 weeks of owning it. The weird thing is that there were no chips or anything. I just started my truck on a cold -40C morning and watched it slowly crack right in front of my eyes.

I’ve had my 2024 tundra for just under a year now. Within that year I have had 3 cracks in my windshield. And one replacement after the first 2 cracks.

Brand new 24 hybrid corolla cross. Spilt bottom passenger side. They saud the pen hooks, so it's a chip. Less than 2k kms. I've not heard anything hit the windshield. Just driving along and a big spilt forms in the windshield.
