Windshield Tesla or Pilkington

Just had my windshield replaced ~4 days ago at the local Windshield shop..(location in north-central Maryland). Aftermarket glass (Pilkington = ...large UK glass company, owned by Japanese NSG group, which I am familiar with from living in the UK for a number of years.) The windshield was installed for $375 on my 2017 Alltrack S... (so no recalibration/software updates).

I regularly see Pilkington on Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar vehicles

Safelite replaced our windshield with the same Pilkington glass you have. It’s been perfect so far. 6 weeks and zero problems. This Pilkington glass seems to be a bit stronger than the Subaru glass as well. It’s taken a few small rocks with no damage whatsoever.

I got a brand new windshield on my M3 for $100. My insurance took care of the rest. I went through Tesla because I didn’t want to be dealing with this same exact BS that they are trying to run on you.

Model3 in San Diego. Got it replaced and calibrated by Tesla service for $943.

Pilkington is the only maker I know of that still makes them. I got one 3 years back.

When you get your first replacement, don’t get an OEM get a Pilkington brand.

First winter with my Model Y and I have had 2. Luckily repaired both immediately however, one circular chip repair didn’t take very well visually, but told it will hold. My personal anecdotal experience is leading me to believe that all windshields from various car manufacturers are not the same :(

Replaced the windshield twice in a matter of months after delivery. It was an extremely frustrating experience.

Replaced my windshield 3 times within a year. First one was by rock chip from Amazon truck. Second one was by dead bird from the tree. Third one was by homeless in downtown SF.
