I have 14k miles on my 2023 and have no rock chips in the glass. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 14000 km
A couple of months ago I had a large tree branch fall as I was driving and land hard on my windshield. I was sure I was going to see cracking as the sound of the impact was incredibly loud. Nothing. Maybe it was because it fell lengthways across the entire windshield that the surface area absorbed the impact?
Pros: durable, absorbed impact
Vehicle:
Subaru
I did new glass in my wife's new CR-V at 6 months old, and I did aftermarket Pilkington glass in my 2-year-old Pilot. No issues to report.
Pros: no issues to report

The 1k non-tesla one - earns the 1k value... glass is not as clear, but manageable for a 1k difference. BUT next time I have to replace... I am thinking to get the OEM.
Pros: manageable for difference
Cons: glass is not clear
Just a heads up on my 2020 Impreza I learned the OEM glass was not the best. I went through 2 OEM glass windshields. After that I said throw in 3rd party and after that it never broke again.
Cons: not durable, broke easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
4 windshields in 2 years for my 2022 540i. Always been a vey small rock with a chip on the edges.
Cons: frequent replacements, chips easily

All my glass I get from Pilk is always scratched to shit
Cons: always scratched
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.
Cons: distortion on passenger side
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
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.
Pros: no issues with OEM
Cons: distortion on passenger side
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
