Windshield Pilkington or OEM Volkswagen

Pilkinton/AGC are mighty fine.

My relative works for AGC (a direct competitor) and calls the glass “very good”. Moreover, I have it on my Corolla and I see no difference to the OEM. Actually, I’d argue much better than the EU original Sisecam.

I would definitely avoid Fuyao.

The final windshield was a Pilkington and it’s still going strong. It even took a strike outside of Vegas with a rock the size of a nickel. The Pilkington was installed by an independent installer and there was no problem with the eyesight.

I have Pilkington on my last 2 vehicles. I haven't had any issues with the quality of glass, waves, or rainbowing.

I find that they all vary. Even the 2977. Haven\u2019t run into issues from it though, yet.

I also got a pilkington replacement about 6 months ago. No problems with it, and at this point I entirely forgot.

Same thing happened to me and ended up with the Pilkington glass. Actually like it more than the OEM since there's less visual distortion.

Heb me laten overhalen om een ruit van Pilkington te laten installeren op mijn Golf uit 2020. Lijkt er opzich prima in te zitten en de camera is gekalibreerd en lijkt prima te werken. Ik zag echter dat er iets van lucht achter de ruit, voor de (regen?)sensor zit.

Our 2023 ID.4 Pro S AWD is on the 4th windshield since Oct 2023. All 4 have been OEM glass. The last one is horrible … distortions.

All my glass I get from Pilk is always scratched to shit

I just installed a Pilkington glass yesterday on a 2025 Camry. Distortion on the passenger side just as you described. Couldn’t tell until I was driving it for the dynamic.
