Windshield Pilkington or OEM Mazda

I had my windshield replaced about 2 years ago by Safelite with Pilkington glass. They calibrated the EyeSight cameras, zero problems since then

If you have Pilkington, yes they did you a favor. Original one broke and they replaced it with a good one that is much more durable.

Mine wasn't cracked, but had a lot of tiny pocks in it. He had a new Pilkington and installed it for $185. Sorry you missed out on the good pricing.

Also pay extra for OE glass, the quality difference is crazy even between two pieces of Pilkington glass. They make both factory and after market glass.

I had my old windshield replaced through my insurance. The repair shop would use a cheap replacement windshield which in turn didn't sit well on the car and even the VIN number was obscured. It was so bad I was appalled! After some back and forth, I eventually got it replaced again with an OEM one and it looks much better.

The Pilkington windshield is fine, but the rain sensor has been much glitchier than with the original windshield.

My Mazda out of no where a small crack showed up in the middle of my travel it was 3” long and by the next day it was 2 feet long When I inspected the crack it starts at the edge of the glass with no indication of a dent like something hit it

safelite replaced the windshield with OEM one , but at the time of delivery i saw a scratch at the bottom, they tried to clean, scrub it , but no success. At last they asked me to come next week as it had to be replaced again.

I was actually happy that it’s not an OEM windshield because mine cracked hella easy and a bunch of people had issues with warping, so I don’t think quality was there to begin with.

So I used a company besides safelite to replace my windshield because they stressed that they only use OEM glass, but after they replaced it, its stamped Pilkington instead of Mazda, and while the glass says its HUD rated I felt like my eyes were straining to look at it.
