Windshield Pilkington or OEM Mazda

I had mine replaced with non-OEM (Pilkington glass) and didn't have any recalibration done. No issues for the past 6 months and no issues with ACC, LKA, or FCA.

I have a ND RF club and when i cracked the factory glass, the glass company installed a Pilkington windshield. My butt dyno thinks the Pilkington windshield is better than the factory glass. Lasted a lot longer despite me now daily driving....

I had my ND windshield replaced back in 2019 and they brought a genuine Mazda replacement. Not sure why, as the installer said it was unusual to use OEM. It is an involved process due to all the sensor reconfiguration required. I am not aware of an improved windshield replacement, but FWIW my replacement has been fine since 2019.

Best $250 I ever spent on my NA Miata bought in Nevada was a new windshield; makes the convertible experience so much better. Otherwise you can see perfectly in every direction except the one you’re headed toward! Highly recommend.

I requested Pilkington glass. The view through the glass is quite clear, but there were some noticeable wavy spots compared to OEM, and the new glass also had a gap between the glass and the dashboard that I didn’t notice before so I can see light leaking in through the cutout for the VIN while I’m driving.

Stay away from Pilkington the plastic cover never works on their glass.

I had a scratch on the windshield a few weeks in, then realized I’d have the same issue as I did in my previous Mazda: poor glass quality that scratches even with the windshield wipers.

OEM is terrible that's why they keep breaking. Ask for Pilkington and never worry about it again

Just had OEM Pilkington glass installed on our Honda and it has a mean wave towards the far right edge of the glass. Luckily it’s there and not in the middle.
