Windshield Pilkington or OEM Volvo

I like Pilkington so much more than Fuyao. I requested Pilkington last time I got my windshield replaced.

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.

The aftermarket Pilkington glass I got doesn't sit quite the same against the dashboard and headliner but it's acceptable. Figured I'd go for it after reading a few posts about the OEM Carlex glass cracking on the various Subaru subs.

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

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