Windshield Tesla or OEM Volvo

Just had my 2022 xc60 recharge windshield replaced by Safelite (insurance coop). They used oem Volvo glass and did the recalibration at their shop near my home. All went well, and a couple weeks have gone by with lots of rain and no issues.

My model 3 took some serious hits from rocks with no crack.

For me it is incredibly durable. There are hundred of chips on my Model 3 windshield with 53k miles due to freeway driving most of the time, but it is still not cracked yet.

If your car has HUD then check that the after market windshields do not blur the HUD display. On Volvos the aftermarket windshields blur the HUD image.

Oem glass is crap tho. Lots of people changed it multiple times.

3 windshields the first 2 years of my Volvo xc90, then none the next 3

The glass on the SPA and CMA chips and cracks easily. I'm extremely cautious with my shield. I just hit 60k and so far have one chip that I filled immediately. I know many people that do two shields a year.

Within the first 2 weeks of receiving my car, while driving on the highway, I heard a pop noise on my windshield. A few hours later, A small hairline crack developed from the edge of my windsheild, and has since extended halfway across my windshield.

Had once replaced the windshield on my previous car (Toyota) during 9 years and 120k miles. But with MY23 it’s already twice in 6 months. Been living in same area with similar driving routes and driving habits. Quality of windshield that tesla is using is certainly questionable.

Mine was less than 4 months old when it developed a craxk starting at the bottom and worked its way up. Not sure why tesla windshields are so easy to crack.
