I had my windshield replaced about 6 months ago with safelite and I did it all through the geico app. They used Pilkington glass which while not oem is great quality.
Pros: great quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Pilkington makes the OEM windshields for Alfa but they are readily available and a fraction of the price.
Pros: readily available, lower price
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
Your (and my) Range Rover windshield is manufactured by Pilkington. Your glass installer can buy the exact same glass direct from Pilkington for less than half the price. The only difference is that Pilkinton will etch off the Range Rover tag in the corner and put their own name on.
Pros: less than half price
Cons: minor defects possible
Vehicle:
Rover
Safelite can do replacement. LR shop referred me to them. Pilkington, Optikal, Laminated… This is what LR said was OEM or equivalent. Was $1,200 with heating elements. This cracked recently after 7 years.
Pros: OEM or equivalent
Cons: wires can be blinding
Vehicle:
Land Rover
On two of my Mercedes, Pilkington is the OE manufacturer.
Pros: OE manufacturer
Vehicle:
Mercedes
If you can, avoid using Subaru glass for the replacement. I replaced mine with a pilkington windshield and it isn’t as sensitive to cracks spreading.
Pros: less sensitive to cracks
Cons: Subaru glass sensitive
I bought my truck with a few thousand miles on it and someone had replaced the windshield with a Pilkington brand. It had a terrible flaw in the laminate in front of the HUD. It looked terrible.
Cons: terrible flaw in laminate
Toyota used an acoustic windshield on the 2006-2009 refresh. If you own an earlier model it can be installed as an upgrade. You can also get a shaded windshield - I asked Safelite to see if that was an option. They installed a Pilkington.
Pros: acoustic windshield upgrade
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Ask for Pilkington -\n\nThe glass is not what costs its the calibrations - Glass - 400-500 depending on location and brand
Pros: good glass brand
Cons: calibration costs
