Windshield OEM Toyota or Pilkington

Tell them you want Pilkington glass put in. Pilkington is the OEM for Toyota glass.

My 2001 Toyota has one 5 year old chip, and another one from a year ago. I bought the filler stuff for it 5 years ago, but never actually used it because the chip simply has not grown whatsoever. It's not an issue.

The 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE windshield is thicker. Multiple rock hits on the R4P resulted in only a small circular chip, and it doesn't crack horizontally like others.

Ask your installer for Pilkington Glass. When my OE glass cracked I had Pilkington put in, that was over 10 years ago and I'm still running the same windshield with no cracks.

Safelite replaced my windshield again with a Pilkington one and it works great, just gotta rotate the HUD a bit.

We had 3 windshields replaced with OEM. The 4th was replaced with Pilkington brand. It’s last longer than the first 3 combined plus. It’s taken rocks that would have broken any of the OEMs. There was NO problem calibrating the eyesight.

My wife had to have the windshield changed on her 2024 after a fairly minor rock chip spread into a substantial crack overnight. The OEM on her CR-V is Pilkington, who supplies a lot of auto glass industry-wide. Our insurance didn't allow for OEM glass, so we just made sure the glass shop used Pilkington. The aftermarket windshield hasn't cracked yet, but within a few weeks, another rock hit left a series of defects in the glass (not really chips, but very superficial nicks). Guessing Pilkington just isn't producing a particularly good product, whether it's white label for Honda/Acura or as an aftermarket supplier.

I’m on windshield #4 on my 2018

Toyota windshields are like glass. I’ve had 3 chips/cracks in 2 years. All my other cars haven’t had any in 5 years.

My 2022 Tacoma is on its second windshield and I currently have a huge crack in it and a separate one forming from rocks on the roads flying up.
