Windshield Pilkington or OEM Audi

I had my oem Saint Gobain Sekurit glass replaced with Pilkington glass since insurance didn't want to pay for the OEM. Never had any issues with HUD visibility; however, the replacement was done by the BMW dealer.

I had the windshield on my S5 replaced a couple years ago and the non Audi brand “OEM equivalent” windshield the shop installed first messed up the image, it was a double image out of focus. When they replaced it with the Audi branded OEM windshield the heads up was good again.

Tell them you want Pilkington glass put in. Pilkington is the OEM for Toyota glass.

Everything works as expected still, I swear it’s quieter on the highway now too and no leaks…obviously but look I was paranoid of anything less than a precise install.

Got OEM glass, no more distortion, much more quiet.

Ask your installer for Pilkington Glass. When my OE glass cracked I had Pilkington put in, that was over 10 years ago and I'm still running the same windshield with no cracks.

Safelite replaced my windshield again with a Pilkington one and it works great, just gotta rotate the HUD a bit.

Heb me laten overhalen om een ruit van Pilkington te laten installeren op mijn Golf uit 2020. Lijkt er opzich prima in te zitten en de camera is gekalibreerd en lijkt prima te werken. Ik zag echter dat er iets van lucht achter de ruit, voor de (regen?)sensor zit.

my 2021 CR-V just got its windshield cracked like this for some reasons, and it's also from Pilkington

I've had 2 Pilkington windshields installed. Both have distortion at around eye level. Similar to the sensation of having a bifocal lens.
