Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda

Late to the conversation, but I'll say windshields I've owned that say "Toyota" or "Lexus" have lasted years, but windshields that said FUYAO or Pilkington cracked within a few months.

My 2020 Prime windshield broke. Aftermarket glass was used, and my auto wipers didn't work. A Toyota dealer tech determined the bracket for the sensing gel pack was not positioned correctly and said OEM glass was necessary. After getting OEM glass, it now works correctly.

I'm on my 3rd on my 2019 Mazda6.

I have a 2018 cx-5 and got a chip in my windshield after about a year. Just last week, I noticed yet another chip in the windshield. Frustrating to say the least.

In the first three months after buying my Mazda 3 I got 3 rock chips. Replaced the windshield, got another rock chip a week later.

At least for NA the newer generation mazdas 2019+, which have an edgeless design are more prone then any previous generation to crack or spiderweb. I see it all the time on the Mazda 3, cx-5 and cx-30. My girlfriend's windshield cracked after sitting in the garage over a weekend. The new premium look is nice but the build issues.

Replaced the windshield on my 2023 CX-50 within the first 6 months. I've never had to replace a windshield on any of my previous Mazdas.

We didn’t get any cracks in the few years we had a CX-30 but it’s definitely on the softer side as far as hardness goes. There were so many small nicks like any and all debris would sandblast it.

'22 CX-30. Got a chip in my windshield about 3 months after buying it. I do a lot of highway driving and try to avoid driving behind big trucks that kick up a lot of debris but sometimes its unavoidable.

I never scratched a windshield in my life until my 2024 Mazda. In the first month! The squeegee put an 8” scratch right in my line of sight. It drives me crazy.
