Windshield Pilkington or OEM Audi

I have an aftermarket pinketon glass on another car. Frankly, on that car, it seemed more durable than the factory glass.

No problem w replaced our 4th with a Pilkington! The first 3 with OEM - big mistake x 3. The last was a Pilkington and it’s lasted many times longer than the other 3 OEMs combined. We also think it’s taken some hits that would have definitely shattered an OEM.

I replaced my cracked windshield with OEE glass, which was Pilkington EZ Kool. The shop recalibrated my camera for the pre-collision assist, and it's functioned like normal.

Aftermarket. Pilkington if given a choice.

We have had 2 OEM windshields replaced by Safelite on our 2021 Audi SQ7 in the past year with recalibrations done. No issues either time.

Not only is Subaru (Carlex) glass not required, you don't even want it if given a choice. Go for aftermarket glass, Pilkington if you can. Zero issues with eyesight after calibration.

Went to the local glass shop. Bought the pilkington as it’s a hair thicker and I know other OEMs use them. Night and day. Pilkington glass appears way clearer with less distortions. I’ve driven about 1.5 k miles since replacement and eyesight is dead on- about 500 miles local, 1k highway. No issues, works great in rain, and no random stops or the dreaded eyesight disabled logo.

10 year old A4, original windshield. I'm considering changing it because it's scratched as fuck.

I’ve replaced the windshield in my Audi twice. Both replacements are inferior compared to the windshield installed from the factory. For example, the first replacement got hit by a rock and pulverized the glass. It put a hole through the glass.

my 2018 S5 slammed on the brakes randomly a few times, and I have the original windshield.
