Your (and my) Range Rover windshield is manufactured by Pilkington. Your glass installer can buy the exact same glass direct from Pilkington for less than half the price. The only difference is that Pilkinton will etch off the Range Rover tag in the corner and put their own name on.

Pros: less than half price
Cons: minor defects possible
Vehicle: Rover

Safelite can do replacement. LR shop referred me to them. Pilkington, Optikal, Laminated… This is what LR said was OEM or equivalent. Was $1,200 with heating elements. This cracked recently after 7 years.

Pros: OEM or equivalent
Cons: wires can be blinding
Vehicle: Land Rover

If you can, avoid using Subaru glass for the replacement. I replaced mine with a pilkington windshield and it isn’t as sensitive to cracks spreading.

Pros: less sensitive to cracks
Cons: Subaru glass sensitive

Toyota used an acoustic windshield on the 2006-2009 refresh. If you own an earlier model it can be installed as an upgrade. You can also get a shaded windshield - I asked Safelite to see if that was an option. They installed a Pilkington.

Pros: acoustic windshield upgrade
Vehicle: Toyota Prius

I requested Pilkington glass. The view through the glass is quite clear, but there were some noticeable wavy spots compared to OEM, and the new glass also had a gap between the glass and the dashboard that I didn’t notice before so I can see light leaking in through the cutout for the VIN while I’m driving.

Pros: clear view
Cons: wavy spots, dashboard gap, light leak
Vehicle: Subaru Impreza

I bought my truck with a few thousand miles on it and someone had replaced the windshield with a Pilkington brand. It had a terrible flaw in the laminate in front of the HUD. It looked terrible.

Cons: terrible flaw in laminate
