Windshield Pilkington or OEM Mazda

If I was paying for it out of pocket, I would run with a non OEM windshield from Pilkington. They are a premium auto glass manufacturer with better performing glass for UV protection, cooling, sound and durability.

Safelite did mine last month for $950 all in. Pilkington glass.

Brand is Pilkington (OEM) without the Honda logo. Mine doesn't have any sensors on the windshield (LDW).

The last was a Pilkington and has lasted twice as long as all the OEM combined!

Go aftermarket. Pilkington if you have a choice, but any aftermarket will likely be better than OEM (Carlex). Zero issues with eyesight.

For manufacturers, Pilkington and PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works) make the best.

When I broke mine the repair shop installed "yesglass" It's a Pilkington brand, but worse on paper.

I'm on my 3rd on my 2019 Mazda6.

I have a 2018 cx-5 and got a chip in my windshield after about a year. Just last week, I noticed yet another chip in the windshield. Frustrating to say the least.

In the first three months after buying my Mazda 3 I got 3 rock chips. Replaced the windshield, got another rock chip a week later.
