Have a prestige trim 9.5 S5 and wear polarized sunglasses 99.9% of the time I get in the car and they\u2019ve never caused any issues with legibility for the HUD.

Vehicle:

So, an hour and a half later I was out the door with a brand new Audi OEM windshield and ADAS calibration for $66.92, which was the price of a new set of wiper blades, totally optional.
Pros: new windshield, ADAS calibration
Vehicle:
Audi
Also make sure you tell the insurance company that you need OEM because of the HUD.
Pros: compatible with HUD
Vehicle:
Audi SQ7
OEM glass is slightly thicker which is more sound proof so I went that route.
Pros: thicker glass, more sound proof
Vehicle:

Just had this done about a month ago at Auto Glass Now. OEM front window for my RS6 with recalibration was ~$2470 including tax. Allegedly the glass place said there was no after market window FWIW.
Pros: OEM windshield installed, recalibration successful
Vehicle:
Audi RS6
The EV6 had a cracked windshield when I bought it. Replaced at the dealership.
Pros: replaced at dealership
Cons: cracked windshield
Vehicle:
Kia
There is a significant difference in quality of the glass itself. OEM vs non. I routinely see cars that come through with non oem glass that will just not calibrate after replacement.
Cons: calibration issues
The 2020 and 2021 windshields were utter crap. It was in the materials.
Cons: utter crap materials
Vehicle:
Kia
Cost me $2000+ for Audi Original. And i wont recommend OEM.
Cons: expensive, not recommended
Ive replaced 2 of these in the last 3 months on my RS3. OEM glass at the dealership both times.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement needed
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
