We replaced our entire front windshield a few months ago after a rock cracked it on the road. We made sure it was OEM (Pilkington) and the calibration was completed. The shop ordered the windshield from a local Toyota dealership they work with. Process was fast and quick. Took about a few days (2-3) for the windshield to come in and even after it came, they didn’t like it due to some blemishes on the window so they re-ordered another one. Installation took about > 1 hour and is 100% exactly as the original one.

Pros: OEM quality, perfect fit, quick process
Cons: initial blemishes

We have replaced the windshields in both the Tacoma and Highlander with Safelite 'Pilkington' OE equivalent glass. All safety features work just as expected.

Pros: safety features work

I used Safelite for a windshield replacement on my 2016 340i last year and they did a perfect job. They used the same glass manufacturer as BMW - Pilkington. BMW doesn't make glass. HUD and rain sensor were perfectly calibrated. No issues whatsoever.

Pros: perfect job, perfectly calibrated
Cons: none
Vehicle: BMW

I was in a similar situation 2 years ago, except it was a 2012 accord n was looking at a 2023 4runner. Biggest difference i felt in the negative side was fuel economy and throttle response. Neither are something you should expect from 4runner, and I knew that going in but driving them back to back or alternating every other day, u feel it a lot. As far as throttle response, after driving for a while I realized while it's not a k series engine n can't go like it can but its plenty powerful and it can be responsive if ur in the right gear n right rpm. windshield is a chip magnet but so is my accord. I do like the near vertical windshield, though. I feel it blocks the sun better during the day.

Pros: blocks sun better
Cons: fuel economy, throttle response
Vehicle: Toyota 4runner

Pilkington glass. I went through two windshields for no reason at all. Worst deductibles I’ve ever had to spend on.

Cons: poor durability, high replacement cost

the windshield on my 2018 Toyota RAV4 XLE needed to be replaced and I decided to go through Glass America to get it done. Unfortunately, I've had to take it three times now as each windshield has had somewhat significant distortion.

Cons: significant distortion
Vehicle: Toyota

I’ve got like 4 or 5 cracks, looks like I’ve been in a war zone. Every time I think about replacing it, another rock hits the windshield

Cons: prone to cracking, poor durability
Vehicle: Toyota 4runner
