Windshield Pilkington or OEM Hyundai

I live in a place that breaks windshields frequently. Have had 3-4 major hits on my ioniq over the last 2 years, but no cracks. I’d say the windscreen is probably better than the other cars i’ve had.

The Ioniq 5's windshield is pretty tough.

I had mine replaced in November by a local shop. They recalibrated eyesight and it works fine. The new windshield is the Plinkington glass which I heard is more durable than the factory.

Imo, pilk is the better glass, but more so for quality control than overall quality. Personally, I install more fuyao than anything. If everything looks good run with it.

HAve had the change approx 2 months ago on my 2016, I did choose Pilkington without the audi marker. Paid 1100€ (Hungary) and until now it is as good as factory one.

For whats its worth, I had mine replaced at Safelite and haven't had any issues 4 months later. They used Pilkington glass which is OEM for BMW. HUD still works great. ACC did need recalibration the next day (City Safety features turned off) but they were able to do it at Safelite with Bosch equipment. I use Pilot Assist for >50% of my driving and it is functioning the same as before.

They used a Pilkington, and the HUD is blurry- just like my FIRST FACTORY FITTED CARLEX- NO BETTER NO WORSE), no BMW logo, no connected drive inscribed on the glass on the top. But it is an acoustic glass with HUD compatbility- Optics wise no difference, Noise levels about the same, Lane tracking etc works the same as before this incident. No leaks.

Mine just cracked. Is definitely unusual

i just had mine chipped today.. Hyundai claimed there was a small impact and with the cold and windshield heater it cracked..

My car was parked in my driveway behind my house. Windshield was fine in the evening, the next morning it was cracked. Seems like a defect to me.
