Windshield Pilkington or OEM Volkswagen

decided to go with “aftermarket” which was a Pilkington windshield. Have had zero issues with my lane assist/collision sensors, However I assume it really depends who does your replacement install and if they calibrate the sensors properly

I have a few Corrado windshields I’m looking to unload. I imported them from Europe, they are Pilkington and I have them listed at $750US or $1000CAN.

for Hondas and Acuras that need recalibration with the ADAS camera systems, It’s best to use PILKINGTON. It seems to have a lower Failure rate.

There are differences, as you found, in the manufacturer, but VW uses different glass manufacturers in different parts of the world. I, myself, have the roof, front & rear windshield made by Pilkington, and the side windows are from Saint Gobain.

If you go with aftermarket at a place like Safelite, make sure to get the Pilkington brand if you have a HUD

Pilkington glass has never let me down, except their distribution centers. A bit of the best and the worst bundled into one name.

I've had several over the years, mostly fine, some proportion variations here and there or where the black fading around the edges is and how thick it is etc, but largely okay. I'd say the biggest thing I notice is the appearance of those Little sparkly rock chips becomes easier to develop on the aftermarket glass.

'22 and on my third windshield. One was covered by Subaru and one had to pay insurance deductible. I had both Carlex and Pilkington glass and both cracked

Safelight used a cheap crap grade of pilkington - they said it was OEM, it was not and cracked the first week from a small rock.

my 2021 CR-V just got its windshield cracked like this for some reasons, and it's also from Pilkington
