Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM KIA

Thanks. The one with the purple windshield is less sunny inside. I rarely need to use my sun visors.

Have a '12 SE with 42,000 miles, most of which are from winter driving (think road gravel, salt and sand). We have no pits, and from having driven this same route for 30+ years, we have to conclude this glass is the best we've seen.

Spotless. After a week: all well.

Well, my windshield has been replaced! I am wondering though... Did they install a right hand drive windshield? LOL, I don't even think that there would be one in the country, but this is VW . If you look you will notice that the VW logo is now on the driver\u2019s side.

My 2023 Rio had some little chips brand new had them fix em on the spot

I’m already on my second replaced windshield with a crack already in it. Kia glass is weak as shit. 2 weeks ago I barely heard a rock tink off my glass and it cracked ( I was able to get it filled before it spread) but I’ve already got another from earlier this winter.

Same thing happened on my 2023 Soul. Now the issue is waiting for a windshield. The 2022 is slightly different and 2023 windshields just don’t seem to exist. It’s been awhile and safelite can’t seem to get Kia to send one.

I had this happen on a previous Forte I had. A rock hit the black area (where the glass is glued) and the crack went across the whole glass. When rocks hit the black area it will almost always cause this type of damage because that part of the car holds a lot of structural weight for the car (vs say the middle of the glass). The glass safelite used was the actual oem glass so it made little difference.

I’m not sure if a rock hit it or what happened. I didn’t hear it or see it but I noticed the crack coming from the bottom driver side corner while driving. It has spread pretty quickly up into my line of sight and over to the passengers line of sight. I read online that there has been some issues with the glass used on the 2023 kias.

Not even a mile from the dealer, noticed a small crack at the base of the windshield, about an inch. They filled the crack, but i do not feel comfortable with this at all. I asked about this specifically before buying, and the dealer tried to make me feel like an idiot, like this was a nonissue! Low and behold, here I am, waiting for my winshield to explode on me.
