Windshield Tesla or OEM Honda

when i bought my car, i paid 450 for a warranty that covers the windshield, it uses OEM glass replacement. I used said warranty probably 6 months into owning my new ridgeline and new OEM glass+install etc was $1787. Was the only time i felt like i bought something that is usually a rip off, that was totally awesome.

Make sure you get an OEM windshield. Probably pay extra but Ridgelines have an acoustic windshield and if you don’t specify your truck will be noticeably noisier.

I got an OEM Honda windshield. Install was a few hours. Looks and works just as good as new.

I used my Tesla service center. They did an adequate job

10th Gen owner here, and the glass on mine is garbage to every other car I’ve owned. Haven’t had to replace mine as I don’t have any huge cracks, but the windshield is full of tiny pitting all over. When I wash my car, windshield still looks like shit due to all the pitting.

Can confirm that 2024 Accord EX's windshield cracks easily

2025 Pilot, had a hunk of rock penetrate the windshield coming off a cow trailer when I had something like 800 miles on it

My 2017 Touring glass is streaky and spotty even when fully clean. 8 years of crappy winters and dusty summers and pollen-filled springs have really made the glass age rapidly. Even during the first few years, it never seemed to get “clean enough” so that I didn’t notice the streaks and spots in full sunlight.

Honda Glass is garbage. They break easily and get dusty/dirty super quick for some reason

My 2024 has so small many small chips in it. I drive the same commute without any issues for years with my old car and then bam. All of a sudden chips out of nowhere. The windshield quality sucks.
