Windshield Pilkington or OEM KIA

Just had mine replaced in my 2019. Used Pilkington as well and I can’t tell the difference from the OEM glass.

Safelite replaced the glass on my 2019 r. You 100% do not want the generic it will not fit and line up properly. I got and oem Pilkington glass and it fit perfect factory I had saint gobain.

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.

I ended up with pilkington and the quality has been fantastic.

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!

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

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.

A tiny pebble hit the windshield going less than 40 mph on a small road in Montana, cracked the windshield about 8 inches.! The crack spread another 4-5 inches. Was pissed the windshield cracked. Didn't even have 6k miles on the car. Kia supposedly fixed the eggshell windshield problems, but they haven't. The resin on the telluride windshield has finally given up and a new crack has spread out from this initial crack and traveled about 12 inches out from the other crack. Don't even want another factory Kia windshield, want something stronger.!

The Stinger windshields are notorious for picking up chips. I got 3 major chips in the first 5k miles compared to 1 in 100k+ miles of driving my other vehicles in my urban area where it doesn't snow.

Pilkington, worn out in 2 years to matt surface spots, 1 set of Bosch wipers, rarely used (3-5 times a year).
