Windshield Tesla or OEM Mazda

I had my ND windshield replaced back in 2019 and they brought a genuine Mazda replacement. Not sure why, as the installer said it was unusual to use OEM. It is an involved process due to all the sensor reconfiguration required. I am not aware of an improved windshield replacement, but FWIW my replacement has been fine since 2019.

Best $250 I ever spent on my NA Miata bought in Nevada was a new windshield; makes the convertible experience so much better. Otherwise you can see perfectly in every direction except the one you’re headed toward! Highly recommend.

my 2018 M3P had this too when i took delivery, i asked them and they cleaned it for me, i'm sure it's still there but like you said, the light has to hit it just right to see it, so doesn't really bother me anymore. i'm pretty sure all tesla windshield are like this, don't know why.

I’m going to need a new windshield soon, that will be my 4th one.

I had a scratch on the windshield a few weeks in, then realized I’d have the same issue as I did in my previous Mazda: poor glass quality that scratches even with the windshield wipers.

Between our model y and model 3, my wife and I replaced the windshields 6 times. Always a chip off the highway regardless of how much space we leave between us and the vehicles in front. It’s been a nightmare. The fact they are offering this now telling me that they know their windshield designs is flawed and this happens a lot despite being told otherwise by the service centers.

Mazda windshields are extremely soft, they scratch and crack easily.

Had a CX-5 and now a CX-50. It's pretty much a new windshield per year. They crack and chip on every hit.

Mine cracked on its own the second day I had it.
