Windshield Tesla or Pilkington

I like Pilkington so much more than Fuyao. I requested Pilkington last time I got my windshield replaced.

Pilkinton/AGC are mighty fine.

My relative works for AGC (a direct competitor) and calls the glass “very good”. Moreover, I have it on my Corolla and I see no difference to the OEM. Actually, I’d argue much better than the EU original Sisecam.

I would definitely avoid Fuyao.

My friend just cracked his Model Y Performance windshield and was quoted $1530ish to get it replaced by Tesla. There's tons of rocks on the roads here in Las Vegas and I drive a lot, so this is a no-brainer for me.

The final windshield was a Pilkington and it’s still going strong. It even took a strike outside of Vegas with a rock the size of a nickel. The Pilkington was installed by an independent installer and there was no problem with the eyesight.

My 2021 Tesla has things hitting the windshield. Nothing cracks.

I just got my Impreza windshield replaced with Pilkington after seeing comments in various Subaru subs. The glass is just okay, it has a weird but minor horizontal wavy spot and no idea if it’ll actually be more durable in the long run. It did calibrate fine and EyeSight seems to be working without issue.

I had a Pilkington windshield put on my 2008 Malibu to replace the OEM. It chipped extremely easy compared to the OEM. Even the tiniest little pebbles caused big chips in the glass. I replaced the OEM glass in 2021 due to a tree limb falling on it and shattering it. The Pilkington windshield now has several cracks along the entire windshield. Also took Safelite 4 attempts to find a windshield that wasn't wavy or scratched.

In the first three years I owned my car the windshield needed replacing three times. I paid $100 a month for the privilege of having a windshield

'22 and on my third windshield. One was covered by Subaru and one had to pay insurance deductible. I had both Carlex and Pilkington glass and both cracked

Safelight used a cheap crap grade of pilkington - they said it was OEM, it was not and cracked the first week from a small rock.
