I had my oem Saint Gobain Sekurit glass replaced with Pilkington glass since insurance didn't want to pay for the OEM. Never had any issues with HUD visibility; however, the replacement was done by the BMW dealer.
Tell them you want Pilkington glass put in. Pilkington is the OEM for Toyota glass.
Ask your installer for Pilkington Glass. When my OE glass cracked I had Pilkington put in, that was over 10 years ago and I'm still running the same windshield with no cracks.
Safelite replaced my windshield again with a Pilkington one and it works great, just gotta rotate the HUD a bit.
We had 3 windshields replaced with OEM. The 4th was replaced with Pilkington brand. It’s last longer than the first 3 combined plus. It’s taken rocks that would have broken any of the OEMs. There was NO problem calibrating the eyesight.
I just had to replace mine. The screen we got was pilkington, who make the OEM windshield but it had no Land Rover branding. It was the latest version where the solar attenuation screen is now totally clear. There’s a little thermometer icon on the screen to indicate that it has solar attenuation.
Get aftermarket, it's superior. I've had my fair share of replacements and aftermarket held up much better. Pilkington is the brand you want if given a choice. Zero issues with Eyesight.
Pilkington has been slacking lately. They usually are great
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.
my 2021 CR-V just got its windshield cracked like this for some reasons, and it's also from Pilkington
