I recommend going with the OEM glass (which is Pilkington). There have been a number of complaints with aftermarket glass being "softer" and more suspectable to cracks/chips compared to the OEM glass.

Cons: softer, suspectable to cracks/chips

Had mine replaced at the end of last year with a new Pilkington unit. The mirror sensor was unclipped and the clipped onto the new one - no issues. Like others have said, the cheap OEM version on my old 2018 was soft and pitted/stained easily. Worth the upgrade!

Pros: worth the upgrade, no issues
Cons: soft, pitted easily

Pilkington is an OEM supplier so I wouldn\u2019t be too worried; my old Volvo had a factory Pilkington windshield.

Pros: OEM supplier
Vehicle: Volvo

I have an 18. I've had my windshield replaced. Replacement glass from Pilkington, made at same factory as the original VW glass. Was around $300-400 installed. No camera calibration required.

Pros: no camera calibration required

Since the last time I posted, Anthony installed the Pilkington FW4119 glass on my car. He was right--it was completely free of any distortions, haziness, or warps.

Pros: free of distortions, no haziness
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf
Part number: FW4119

They put yet another in, and it also cracked soon after. They insisted they saw an impact location at the edge of the crack and wouldn't cover replacement so I had to pay for it. I insisted they use a non-Safelite window, so they installed a Pilkington. Twice as expensive, but no problems since.

Pros: no problems since
Cons: cracked soon after
Vehicle: BMW

I had a Pilkington windshield installed a few weeks ago. I agree, the fitment isn't the greatest. On the OEM and Guardian I had. I could fit my sunshade between the glass and dash, no such luck on the Pilkington.

Cons: fitment isn't the greatest
