Ask your installer for Pilkington Glass. When my OE glass cracked I had Pilkington put in, that was over 10 years ago and I'm still running the same windshield with no cracks.

Pros: long-lasting, no cracks
Vehicle: Jeep

Safelite replaced my windshield again with a Pilkington one and it works great, just gotta rotate the HUD a bit.

We had 3 windshields replaced with OEM. The 4th was replaced with Pilkington brand. It’s last longer than the first 3 combined plus. It’s taken rocks that would have broken any of the OEMs. There was NO problem calibrating the eyesight.

Pros: lasts longer, durable, no Eyesight issues
Vehicle: Subaru

I just had to replace mine. The screen we got was pilkington, who make the OEM windshield but it had no Land Rover branding. It was the latest version where the solar attenuation screen is now totally clear. There’s a little thermometer icon on the screen to indicate that it has solar attenuation.

Pros: solar attenuation screen clear
Vehicle: Land Rover

Get aftermarket, it's superior. I've had my fair share of replacements and aftermarket held up much better. Pilkington is the brand you want if given a choice. Zero issues with Eyesight.

Pros: superior, held up better, no Eyesight issues

I got an aftermarket windshield, specifically it was a Pilkington and the HUD works fine, but it does have to be a HUD windshield. Only issue was the display was at a slight angle, but that can be adjusted via the settings

Pros: HUD works fine
Cons: display at slight angle

I got a pilkington replacement from a local auto glass shop. I'm seeing some distortions in the glass as a scan across the windshield, so I have reason to doubt the quality of pilkington glass.

Cons: distortions in the glass

We’ve had horrible luck with pilkington delivering damaged glass in the last few months. Just last week it took them FOUR attempts to deliver the windshield for an odyssey. It gets old real fast

Cons: damaged glass, multiple attempts
Vehicle: Honda Odyssey

windshield randomly cracked in the summer heatwave. No impact yet vw refuses to replace it. These are obviously defective. Don't know what course of action is appropriate but I'm not happy.

Cons: randomly cracked, defective
Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan
