Pros: looks great, no noise increase
Vehicle:
Ford
36k miles and just a small chip that I got in a gnarly hail storm in Nebraska while driving cross country. That was when it was brand new. No issues with it since. Was waiting for it to get worse before I took it in for the windshield recall but it never worsened.
Pros: durable, no worsening damage
Cons: small chip from hail
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Mileage: 57900 km
3 years 65k miles and a lot of off-roading and high speed road trips. A few chips, no cracks, same factory windshield.
Pros: durable, no cracks
Cons: a few chips
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Mileage: 104600 km
I had to replace on my RS3 and the windshield came from Germany straight from Audi. No issues and everything fine.
Pros: no issues, everything fine
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
The windshield on our 21 Q5e cracked from a stone chip. Took it to Safelite down the road from our house. Insurance covered 100% and that included calibration. Everything works as it should--that was 6 months or so ago. Used oem glass.
Pros: everything works as should
Vehicle:
Audi
My 21 titanium hybrid has it but is way more noisy than I expected.
Cons: way more noisy
Vehicle:
Ford Escape
my 2018 S5 slammed on the brakes randomly a few times, and I have the original windshield.
Cons: random braking
Vehicle:
Audi S5
I’ve already had to replace the windshield twice since then. The first had a small chip on the edge of the glass and it spread before we even got home. The second happened from a chip that was about 3” above the edge below the windshield wiper. The latter we had filled as safelight, and it spread about a week later.
Cons: chips spread easily, frequent replacements
Vehicle:
Ford Expedition
Replaced it with OEM ford windshield and was done in a few hours. Got a chip on the way to snow and by the first night it started cracking across middle of vision. Windshield was exact OEM match. Even had the 75 yr sticker lol.
Pros: exact OEM match, 75 yr sticker
Cons: started cracking quickly
Vehicle:
Ford
I had mine develop a huge crack just from warming up in the morning sun and then me spraying wiper fluid. I read on some forums that it's a common issue with the Ford glass and that it's super thin or something to that affect.
Cons: cracks easily, thin glass
