Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda

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.

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.

Safelite did my front and back glass on my 2nd gen thru my insurance . I requested OE glass for both. They had a Toyota windshield in stock, but the sliding rear glass was 30-45 days out of stock, so I went aftermarket.

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.

1 year in and car has about 2 noticeable chips, one directly in drivers POV and other in corner of passanger with a splatter effect of chips throughout.

Not sure if it’s the sharp angle or design of the windshield/material… however super disappointing.

ABSOLUTELY, I have had my cx5 for two weeks and got hit by two rocks on a road trip, both caused huge cracks in the windshield. I was actually pretty impressed with how fragile the glass is.

My 2019 CX5 had 3 cracks in the first year. Had 7 in total by the time I replaced it last year at Safelite.
