Chips/cracks:

I had a Pilkington windshield put on my 2008 Malibu to replace the OEM. It chipped extremely easy compared to the OEM. Even the tiniest little pebbles caused big chips in the glass. I replaced the OEM glass in 2021 due to a tree limb falling on it and shattering it. The Pilkington windshield now has several cracks along the entire windshield. Also took Safelite 4 attempts to find a windshield that wasn't wavy or scratched.

Cons: chipped extremely easy

Vehicle: Chevrolet Malibu

Pilkinton/AGC are mighty fine.

My relative works for AGC (a direct competitor) and calls the glass “very good”. Moreover, I have it on my Corolla and I see no difference to the OEM. Actually, I’d argue much better than the EU original Sisecam.

I would definitely avoid Fuyao.

Pros: very good glass

Cons: avoid Fuyao

Vehicle: Toyota Corolla

The final windshield was a Pilkington and it’s still going strong. It even took a strike outside of Vegas with a rock the size of a nickel. The Pilkington was installed by an independent installer and there was no problem with the eyesight.

Pros: still going strong, took a strike, no eyesight problem

Heb me laten overhalen om een ruit van Pilkington te laten installeren op mijn Golf uit 2020. Lijkt er opzich prima in te zitten en de camera is gekalibreerd en lijkt prima te werken. Ik zag echter dat er iets van lucht achter de ruit, voor de (regen?)sensor zit.

Pros: camera werkt, prima installatie

Cons: lucht achter regensensor

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I've had 2 Pilkington windshields installed. Both have distortion at around eye level. Similar to the sensation of having a bifocal lens.

Cons: distortion at eye level

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.

Pros: acoustic glass, no leaks

Cons: blurry HUD
