yep the OEM is weak af. I went to a local shop and paid $325 in Chicago. Works great, eyesight works perfectly, and glass is much stronger.
Pros: glass is much stronger, works great
Cons: OEM is weak
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
The last was a Pilkington and has lasted twice as long as all the OEM combined!
Pros: lasted twice as long
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Go aftermarket. Pilkington if you have a choice, but any aftermarket will likely be better than OEM (Carlex). Zero issues with eyesight.
Pros: better than OEM, zero issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
10 year old A4, original windshield. I'm considering changing it because it's scratched as fuck.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: scratched
Vehicle:
Audi A4
So I used a company besides safelite to replace my windshield because they stressed that they only use OEM glass, but after they replaced it, its stamped Pilkington instead of Mazda, and while the glass says its HUD rated I felt like my eyes were straining to look at it.
Cons: eyes straining
I just bought a 2024 CX30 and I wasn't even behind anyone when a rock hit my windshield. Didn't see where it hit so I thought whew!, safe! On my way back home, on that same road, I see a long crack form from the side of my windshield. I didn't even hear a rock hit. I checked it when I got out and you can't even see where a rock hit at all! I've had this car 2 months! my old car, Mazda3, had 2 tiny spots where rocks had hit & I was able to fill those so they wouldn't run but this one didn't give me a chance to repair.
Cons: cracked easily, unrepairable crack
Vehicle:
Mazda
I have a 2023 BMW X3 M40i and have the exact same issue. The windshield cracked overnight after only having the car 6 months from new, no stone chip visible. Had it replaced with OEM glass and the replacement windshield cracked in the same place 4 months later. No sign of chip. Looks just like your photo.
Cons: windshield cracked overnight
Vehicle:
BMW X3
I’m going to say yes. Had my 05 Lexus is300 for almost 20 years. 2 chips and one window replacement. I have had my 23 M3P for 8 months. One chip and then had a rock hit my window - started as another chip then within 24 hours became an 18 inch crack. Had to have it replaced.
Pros: rock hit window
Cons: window cracked quickly
My last car went 13 years without a cracked windshield. My new Tesla had a crack in less than 6 months.
Cons: crack in 6 months
