Windshield Tesla or Pilkington

I have Pilkington on my last 2 vehicles. I haven't had any issues with the quality of glass, waves, or rainbowing.

I find that they all vary. Even the 2977. Haven\u2019t run into issues from it though, yet.

I also got a pilkington replacement about 6 months ago. No problems with it, and at this point I entirely forgot.

Same thing happened to me and ended up with the Pilkington glass. Actually like it more than the OEM since there's less visual distortion.

Does your local shop carry Pilkington? That’s a good OE brand that Audi used throughout the years, I think. Pilkington is a supplier for Mercedes too. I’ve had them in my cars and haven’t had any issues.

The aftermarket Pilkington glass I got doesn't sit quite the same against the dashboard and headliner but it's acceptable. Figured I'd go for it after reading a few posts about the OEM Carlex glass cracking on the various Subaru subs.

Windshield is insanely expensive and seems to crack/chip pretty easy

my M3 I had prior the windshield got cracked three separate times

their engineering quality threshold for windshields is dismal and below that of every other car maker. It’s actually embarrassing how bad it is.

I had my M3 windshield crack from freeway rocks 4 months after I bought the car.
