Windshield Tesla or OEM Mazda

I had to have my windshield replaced and had Tesla do it and I’m happy with it.

Go with Tesla. They came to my apartment and did it while the car was in its parking spot plus you know they’re not gonna mess it up and if they do they’ll have to rectify it.

i had a big crack in my windshield and took it to tesla through tesla insurance. paid my $200 deductible and it was done in 4 hours. super easy and convenient.

I got a rock chip in my brand new cx50 on a highway, thankfully it was small enough to be patched up by a professional

1 year in and car has about 2 noticeable chips, one directly in drivers POV and other in corner of passanger with a splatter effect of chips throughout.

Not sure if it’s the sharp angle or design of the windshield/material… however super disappointing.

ABSOLUTELY, I have had my cx5 for two weeks and got hit by two rocks on a road trip, both caused huge cracks in the windshield. I was actually pretty impressed with how fragile the glass is.

My 2019 CX5 had 3 cracks in the first year. Had 7 in total by the time I replaced it last year at Safelite.

I’m on my fourth windshield so far. I try to give semi‘s a wide berth and have a respectable following distance, but no luck. Worst was having to replace the windshield twice within a year.

The OEM one seems quite fragile.

My previous car was a ‘21 Mazda 3. The factory windshield was SO fragile in my opinion. Granted I live in AZ where rock chips are extremely common. I had 3 chips that quickly turned into 3 huge cracks within about a 6 month time frame.
