Pilkington auto glass for our replacement windshield. Pilkington glass is FAR superior to Subaru’s OEM glass. It’s taken some small rock hits on the highway with no problems whatsoever.
Pros: FAR superior to OEM
Cons: small rock hits

I have an aftermarket pinketon glass on another car. Frankly, on that car, it seemed more durable than the factory glass.
Pros: more durable than factory
No problem w replaced our 4th with a Pilkington! The first 3 with OEM - big mistake x 3. The last was a Pilkington and it’s lasted many times longer than the other 3 OEMs combined. We also think it’s taken some hits that would have definitely shattered an OEM.
Pros: lasted many times longer
Cons: OEM big mistake
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I replaced my cracked windshield with OEE glass, which was Pilkington EZ Kool. The shop recalibrated my camera for the pre-collision assist, and it's functioned like normal.
Pros: camera functions normally

Aftermarket. Pilkington if given a choice.

Not only is Subaru (Carlex) glass not required, you don't even want it if given a choice. Go for aftermarket glass, Pilkington if you can. Zero issues with eyesight after calibration.
Pros: zero issues with eyesight
Cons: Subaru glass not desirable
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Went to the local glass shop. Bought the pilkington as it’s a hair thicker and I know other OEMs use them. Night and day. Pilkington glass appears way clearer with less distortions. I’ve driven about 1.5 k miles since replacement and eyesight is dead on- about 500 miles local, 1k highway. No issues, works great in rain, and no random stops or the dreaded eyesight disabled logo.
Pros: clearer with less distortions
Cons: none
Mileage: 2414 km
The Pilkington windshield is fine, but the rain sensor has been much glitchier than with the original windshield.
Pros: windshield is fine
Cons: rain sensor glitchier

I got a pilkington replacement from a local auto glass shop. I'm seeing some distortions in the glass as a scan across the windshield, so I have reason to doubt the quality of pilkington glass.
Cons: distortions in the glass
We’ve had horrible luck with pilkington delivering damaged glass in the last few months. Just last week it took them FOUR attempts to deliver the windshield for an odyssey. It gets old real fast
Cons: damaged glass, multiple attempts
