Mine wasn't cracked, but had a lot of tiny pocks in it. He had a new Pilkington and installed it for $185. Sorry you missed out on the good pricing.
Also pay extra for OE glass, the quality difference is crazy even between two pieces of Pilkington glass. They make both factory and after market glass.
I had my e90 with bmw logo changed after a crack at 186,000 miles. I pushed for the oem glass maker that was Pilkington. I made sure to have them order the correct glass, made sure it had the correct factory tint at the top and it had the correct color of tint too.
I had my windshield replaced recently though my insurance, they tinted it (70% ceramic) for free and installed Pilkington glass for free. Not sure what the OEM is but Pilkington is aftermarket that's as good if not better than any OEM glass, many have reported it seems stronger where you wont get chips quite as easily.
I replaced mine with an OEC. Didn't need to be recalibrated. Didn't have issues and it's been 2 years
when you do need a replacement, get it replaced with Pilkington brand. It's far superior to OEM (usually Carlex)
Pilkington glass is my go to for any older Toyota as they were the oem supplier for most cars. They\u2019ll also accept glass back as defective if it doesn\u2019t calibrate.
They used a Pilkington, and the HUD is blurry- just like my FIRST FACTORY FITTED CARLEX- NO BETTER NO WORSE), no BMW logo, no connected drive inscribed on the glass on the top. But it is an acoustic glass with HUD compatbility- Optics wise no difference, Noise levels about the same, Lane tracking etc works the same as before this incident. No leaks.
I just installed a Pilkington glass yesterday on a 2025 Camry. Distortion on the passenger side just as you described. Couldn’t tell until I was driving it for the dynamic.
Has anyone noticed anything about the quality of pilk glass did a 2020 Honda odyssey that had 2 replacements done on it within 2 weeks originally had a pilk part in it with distortion on the passenger side top so bad that it threw the camera off so much it wouldn’t pass a static recalibration, threw oem in it and no issues on static or dynamic.
