My 2015.5 V60, I replaced my windshield several times. The shop wouldn't let me get a 3rd party glass, only a Volvo branded windshield. The shop even disputed with the insurance when they wanted to use 3rd party glass due to the safety features.

Pros: Volvo branded windshield
Cons: no 3rd party glass
Vehicle: Volvo V60

OEM Volvo Windshield

I have had two XC90 windshields replaced. Did both at the dealer because of the equipment mounted behind the glass - after replacement they took care of whatever reset codes and calibration were needed.

Pros: reset codes and calibration
Vehicle: Volvo XC90

Went to the dealer got oem glass and it almost looks like factory even the little plastic clip is there. The only thing that's wrong is that they covered the vin with some glue. If they fixed it like they should I'm really happy cause other places might not fit original glass. Already talked with the dealer so I guess there will be no problems fixing that flaw.

Pros: looks like factory, plastic clip present
Cons: VIN covered with glue

I had Safelite replace my windshield, and they ordered me an OEM windshield from my local Volvo dealer where I do my service. They recalibrated the cameras for me as well and I've had no problems. Safelite is perfectly fine for glass replacement.

Pros: no problems, cameras recalibrated
Vehicle: Volvo S60

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.

My wife had to have the windshield changed on her 2024 after a fairly minor rock chip spread into a substantial crack overnight. The OEM on her CR-V is Pilkington, who supplies a lot of auto glass industry-wide. Our insurance didn't allow for OEM glass, so we just made sure the glass shop used Pilkington. The aftermarket windshield hasn't cracked yet, but within a few weeks, another rock hit left a series of defects in the glass (not really chips, but very superficial nicks). Guessing Pilkington just isn't producing a particularly good product, whether it's white label for Honda/Acura or as an aftermarket supplier.

Pros: windshield hasn't cracked yet
Cons: superficial nicks, defects in glass
Vehicle: Honda

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.

Cons: cheap crap grade, cracked quickly
