Windshield Pilkington or OEM Volkswagen

We’re on our 4th windshield for a ‘22 OBW. The third window, about 6 weeks after that, we switched to Pilkington and that’s lasted about 70k miles - so far. It has a bunch of pings that we think would have done in an OEM.

The OEM Pilkington sticker and numbers all match exactly. Seems to be a good replacement - I can't see or hear anything wrong with it.

I had some stuff done, added a couple of things, and washed my 2010 MK6 Golf TDI (manual) with 205K miles. New windshield - OEM VW from Safelite - replaced severely pitted original windshield after 200K+ miles It feels very good driving my clean car with the new bits!

I did new glass in my wife's new CR-V at 6 months old, and I did aftermarket Pilkington glass in my 2-year-old Pilot. No issues to report.

Aftermarket glass is much more robust. My family is on our 8th Subaru and we've never replaced a Pilkington aftermarket windshield.

Definitely get aftermarket windshield. Pilkington is the one you're looking for, they're much stronger than OEM glass and eyesight works perfectly

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

Full replacement in October and 3 star chips filled this month. The replacement was a nightmare, they ordered OEM, but didn't realize there are different windshields for different trim levels until they'd installed it and couldn't connect the rearview mirror. Can't say its a defect since it was a decent sized gravel each time while driving 75.

in the last 13 months of owning an ID.4 I've had 4 cracks, 2 requiring replacement. All cracks have been with OEM VW glass installed at the dealer. I'm at the point where I'm afraid my insurance will drop me if I make any more claims.

I’ve had 3 windshields replaced. My current windshield is now chipped in 2 spots. I’ve given up.
