Windshield OEM Toyota or Pilkington

For whats its worth, I had mine replaced at Safelite and haven't had any issues 4 months later. They used Pilkington glass which is OEM for BMW. HUD still works great. ACC did need recalibration the next day (City Safety features turned off) but they were able to do it at Safelite with Bosch equipment. I use Pilot Assist for >50% of my driving and it is functioning the same as before.

They put in a Pilkington windshield and calibrated everything for about $700.00. Everything works as it should, the HUD is clear but seems to be a a very slight angle compared to the OEM glass.

I replaced the windshield in my 2022 for $350 all said and done. 3rd party installer outside of Atlanta used Pilkington glass and did not need to recalibrate the Eyesight system. I’ve been driving with the new glass for two months now and have had no issues.

We’re on our 4th windshield for a ‘22 OBW. The third window, about 6 weeks after that, we switched to Pilkington and that’s lasted about 70k miles - so far. It has a bunch of pings that we think would have done in an OEM.

The OEM Pilkington sticker and numbers all match exactly. Seems to be a good replacement - I can't see or hear anything wrong with it.

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

They used a Pilkington, and the HUD is blurry- just like my FIRST FACTORY FITTED CARLEX- NO BETTER NO WORSE), no BMW logo, no connected drive inscribed on the glass on the top. But it is an acoustic glass with HUD compatbility- Optics wise no difference, Noise levels about the same, Lane tracking etc works the same as before this incident. No leaks.

I got a 2021 Corolla recently coming from a 2010 Prius. Over 8 years I had 1 chip in the Prius. Since November when I bought this car i got two chips and had to replace it already.

We have a 2024 RAV4 we purchased 16 months ago and are already on our third windshield.

My 2019 rav4 is on its 4th windshield (3 replacements). It is the only vehicle I've owned in my 24 years of driving that I've had to replace a windshield on.
