Safelite replaced mine and yes, they will use a factory Ford windshield. Took them less than an hour which included a quick drive to reset the sensors. I've had zero issues since the replacement.
Pros: zero issues, factory Ford

My wife had to have the windshield changed on her 2024 after a fairly minor rock chip spread into a substantial crack overnight. The OEM on her CR-V is Pilkington, who supplies a lot of auto glass industry-wide. Our insurance didn't allow for OEM glass, so we just made sure the glass shop used Pilkington. The aftermarket windshield hasn't cracked yet, but within a few weeks, another rock hit left a series of defects in the glass (not really chips, but very superficial nicks). Guessing Pilkington just isn't producing a particularly good product, whether it's white label for Honda/Acura or as an aftermarket supplier.
Pros: windshield hasn't cracked yet
Cons: superficial nicks, defects in glass

I’ve had my 2015 for just under a year and I’ve had a chip filled and then the whole windshield replaced due to another unrelated crack I got driving on a freeway on ramp
Cons: prone to chipping, cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Got four chips in the first two weeks of owning it. Thankfully insurance covers it, but it blows my mind that it happened so easily. I keep a good distance from cars ahead of me, especially since I live in Nashville.
Cons: chips easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru
After replacing my windshield twice within 5 years, I tends to believe the angle of 2019 Forester windshield makes it prone to chipping, following or not following the vehicles in the front.
Cons: prone to chipping, poor durability
