Windshield OEM Toyota or Pilkington

Pilkington Windshield

Also pay extra for OE glass, the quality difference is crazy even between two pieces of Pilkington glass. They make both factory and after market glass.

Pros: crazy quality difference, makes factory glass

I had my e90 with bmw logo changed after a crack at 186,000 miles. I pushed for the oem glass maker that was Pilkington. I made sure to have them order the correct glass, made sure it had the correct factory tint at the top and it had the correct color of tint too.

Pros: correct factory tint, correct color
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 186000 km

I had my windshield replaced recently though my insurance, they tinted it (70% ceramic) for free and installed Pilkington glass for free. Not sure what the OEM is but Pilkington is aftermarket that's as good if not better than any OEM glass, many have reported it seems stronger where you wont get chips quite as easily.

Pros: as good as OEM, seems stronger

I replaced mine with an OEC. Didn't need to be recalibrated. Didn't have issues and it's been 2 years

Pros: no issues for 2 years, no recalibration

21 venza, i had it about a year, rock hit that spiderwebbed out. cost me about $1600 to replace (skipped insurance). Toyota had to special order it and claimed all the sensors need to be "recalibrated".

about 6 months later new crack, it's small but right smack dab in drivers line of site. It's smallish and hasn't grown so I've sucked it up and have lived with it for now.

If it's growing, i would suck up the replacement, the glass is shit and seems pretty common problem.

Cons: poor durability, prone to cracking
Vehicle: Toyota Venza

Toyota OEM glass sucks - I had a 4Runner whose windshield would crack if you looked at it wrong, and my Tacoma didn't even make it 6 months before the windshield cracked. Dad's Highlander cracked within 6 months as well.

Cons: prone to cracking, low durability, short lifespan
Vehicle: Toyota Highlander

I’ve just got a 25 platinum, had it just over a month and have both a chip and crack. I’ve never owned a vehicle that had this happen let alone this quickly.

Cons: chipped and cracked quickly, poor durability
Vehicle: Toyota Tundra
