Called one and they worked it to get an OEM windshield through my BMW dealer and installed themselves. HUD, collision and rain sense all working as before. No issues.
Pros: HUD, collision, rain sense working; no issues
Just got mine replaced today. Several nicks and a crack, then it blew up on the passenger side. A buddy recommended a windshield policy since this was my first Jeep. Glad I listened as this was a grand overall.
Pros: windshield policy recommended
Cons: several nicks and crack
Vehicle:
Jeep
I went with Tesla and was glad - they did the camera calibration and mobile tech came out a few days later to fix moisture issue. Also, sounds silly, but installed the windshield straight.
Pros: camera calibration included, installed straight
Cons: moisture issue
If your car has HUD then check that the after market windshields do not blur the HUD display. On Volvos the aftermarket windshields blur the HUD image.
Cons: blurry HUD image

Volvo
The glass on the SPA and CMA chips and cracks easily. I'm extremely cautious with my shield. I just hit 60k and so far have one chip that I filled immediately. I know many people that do two shields a year.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily

Within the first 2 weeks of receiving my car, while driving on the highway, I heard a pop noise on my windshield. A few hours later, A small hairline crack developed from the edge of my windsheild, and has since extended halfway across my windshield.
Cons: pop noise, hairline crack, crack extended
Vehicle:

One morning I just saw a big crack on top windshield. I don’t know how it happen. Maybe it was a small crack before and then it just expand as the time goes by. It must be the design flaw of the windshield.
Cons: design flaw, cracked spontaneously
Most dealers do NOT install glass. They will often contract with a local independent glass installer who will do the work exactly as if you went to them direct, but the dealer will significantly pad the bill for providing no value add. There are plenty of capable independent glass installers who have access to OEM authorized calibration tools and OE glass. Just Don\u2019t get Xyg glass, it is garbage.
Pros: capable independent installers
Cons: Xyg glass is garbage
Had a 16 CX-5 GT and the windshield cracked really bad on the highway when a Corvette zoomed right pass it. This was in Florida.
Cons: cracked really bad
