Safelite replaced our windshield with the same Pilkington glass you have. It’s been perfect so far. 6 weeks and zero problems. This Pilkington glass seems to be a bit stronger than the Subaru glass as well. It’s taken a few small rocks with no damage whatsoever.

Pros: stronger than Subaru glass, zero problems

My first two windshields were Carlex brand, and they were trash. Both chipped multiple times from minor rock chips that ended up spiderwebbing even after repair. Anything has to be better than Carlex.

My 3rd and current windshield is Pilkington and so far seems great. Shrugged off a pretty nasty rock hit with barely a scuff.

Pros: shrugged off rock hit
Cons: chips, spiderwebbing after repair

I was able to find a small specialist shop that did mine for $400 flat. Not OEM but Pilkinton. I did not have him do the calibration, he said you don't need it if the install is done correctly. I have had zero issues since.

Pros: zero issues

Replaced with my current glass which is Pilkington and it's been like 7 months without chips or cracks, which is the longest I've had an immaculate windshield in the entire time I've owned the car.

Pros: no chips or cracks

I got a Pilkington glass and while the edges fit nicely the shape of the glass is less "bubbled" if you will. I used to be able to put my sunshield in between the dash and the windshield via a little space. With the new glass that space is gone and my sunshield no longer fits.

Pros: edges fit nicely
Cons: shape less bubbled

CMBS cameras not properly calibrated since windshield replacement. Dealer believes glass marked “Honda” will fix calibration issue because “there is too much metal” in the Pilkington glass.

Cons: CMBS cameras not calibrated
Vehicle: Honda Accord
