Windshield Tesla or OEM Hyundai

Worth it, I had to replace my windshield around 3600 miles after catching a nasty rock that shattered it.

The windshield protection was a lifesaver, I picked up my car last week and got a crack the other day while driving thankfully they gave a month free with pickup so it was covered. I’d recommend 100%

Windshield - absolutely. I was thinking of getting it but procrastinated…literally got my first windshield incident at 25K miles. I had to pay $500 out of pocket plus $250 for a rental.

I didn\u2019t get many clean the camera warnings, but I could see the haze and would save footage from the camera when I thought haze would be a problem and I could see flashes of light completely block the camera. I cleaned the windshield and it seems like FSD is so much more confident overall and I trust it a lot more.

My Model Y 2026 became sorta like this so I used a razor and I was able to scrape some. And I used a microscope to see what it was and couldn’t figure out what it was.

Turns out it was tiny particles of microfiber being stuck due to static and it was very difficult to get off, because it isn’t glue or just sitting there, but stuck there by static electricity. U can’t feel it, and can’t wipe off with ur finger.

I used monitor cleaning spray because they have anti-static stuff on it. Then used Invisible Glass. And they came off.

I just noticed this on my Model Y Juniper last week, and no matter how hard i Try I cannot get it cleaned off!! I hate having perfectly clean glass and seeing these!

I’ve got a Tesla Model Y built in **November 2024**. Recently it was in a Tesla Approved Body Shop to repair some paint damage. After the repair, I noticed something strange on my **front windshield**: there are tiny **metallic / glitter-like dots**spread across the entire glass.

You only see them when driving **directly into the sun**, when the sunlight shines strongly into the cabin. Under normal conditions or on cloudy days, they’re basically invisible. You **can’t feel them** from inside or outside and you **can’t wipe them off** – they seem to be **inside the glass layer** itself.

At first, the shop and I thought it might be overspray or paint mist from the repair. They even cleaned the windshield with thinner, but nothing changed. During that process someone actually scratched the glass in my field of view, so they replaced the whole windshield with a **brand new Tesla OEM windshield**.

The weird part:

The **new windshield has exactly the same effect** – tiny glitter-like particles across the whole surface, only visible when the sun hits it directly, again not feelable and clearly **inside the glass**.

Because I was pretty annoyed and curious, I started comparing with other cars in my family:

* **Model 3 (2022)**, first factory windshield, never repainted → has the **same dots**.

* **Model Y (Sept 2024)**, first factory windshield, never repainted → also has the **same dots**.

The body shop also checked a few other Teslas they had in for repair (both Model 3 and Model Y, different years). They looked at **five cars** and all five windshields showed these same glitter-like points in the glass.

So at this point I’m convinced it’s **not paint overspray**, because several untouched cars with original glass show the exact same thing.

The wife has been trying to coerce me into a truck and we’ve driven the cyber truck. Honestly, coming off my model 3 i was sorely disappointed in it. Admittedly the test drive experience was soured by the filthy truck, shitty parking lot, and unhelpful test drive supervisor. But the thing just wasn’t as easy to see out of as say a silverado ev and the minimalist design that works in a sedan feels less good in a truck. Especially when you have so much dashboard and giant windshield. You also run into the issue that if you need to open the back up, you lose your rearview mirror entirely. Weird they wouldn’t make the thing a screen to the camera like most trucks do now.

I had same experience… a small rock chip expanded into a foot long crack in under a week.

I had this happen on my Ioniq 5 TWICE! The QC from the factory on these windshields is a joke.
