Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM FORD

18 months in and 57k of highway driving (knock on wood) I haven't had any issues with the windshield. I live in Florida, and have the 2022 Pro S RWD.

Had my Tiguan for 3 years with no issues. Never had anything hit my windshield.

I’ve had my 2018 for over two years and have taken some serious hits on the windshield from gravel and have been surprised it hasn’t cracked.

I've got a big rock chip on mine I've been waiting for six months to spread and it won't.

Still getting the runaround on trying to find a replacement. In my experience, the VW's windshields tend to chip & crack so easily. the aftermarket lasts so much longer.

I just had my windshield replaced; I've noticed a slight visual ripple at the base of the windshield on the passenger side. Since it's right at the base it's not something that causes any weirdness while driving. I can't say I even noticed anything with the previous windshield.

windshield randomly cracked in the summer heatwave. No impact yet vw refuses to replace it. These are obviously defective. Don't know what course of action is appropriate but I'm not happy.

The new windshield sucked and had distortions in multiple places and around the edges. It was really inferior, irritating, and we never got used to it.

Ford OEM glass is thin and breaks easy. The sound proof glass or whatever they make. It’s thinner layer so it’s more brittle. More sound material less glass material. I put two OEM in my truck before I finally had enough and just went aftermarket.

I’ve already had to replace the windshield twice since then. The first had a small chip on the edge of the glass and it spread before we even got home. The second happened from a chip that was about 3” above the edge below the windshield wiper. The latter we had filled as safelight, and it spread about a week later.
