Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM KIA

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.

The original glass in my Alltrack had small pits within months, even ended up with scratch marks from the ice scrapper. Had to get the windshield replaced a couple of years ago and they installed non OEM glass - still good as new.

Yes. My wife and I purposely drive far behind other vehicles to avoid rock chips AND STILL we have a few chips on the windshield at 7000 miles. Frustrating but that's just how it is now.

Our 2023 ID.4 Pro S AWD is on the 4th windshield since Oct 2023. All 4 have been OEM glass. The last one is horrible … distortions.

We went on a trip in the new car and everyone felt that the heat rejection from the windshield isn't impressive or nearly as good as the Baleno. The Baleno, in my experience, cuts out 90%+ of the heat from direct sunlight falling on your body and the Seltos is at maybe 30%.

I had a Sportage 2023 and kia for the first time and had to replace windshield twice in the one year I Had the car. I drive benz and I get rocks and hit on the glass and never had I ever replaced a windshield on them. I agree these kia windshields are weaker

Same thing happened with my forte

I have a 2023 Sportage SX and got a rock chip within the first month of owning it. Just got another one last month. Both while driving on the interstate. My husband was driving for the second one and didn't even know a rock had hit it, that's how small the rock had to have been. I had 3 Mazda 3's before this and never had any rock chips during those 7 years driving the same roads. I definitely think its the windshield.
