Cost me $100 co-pay for claim and had brand new OEM windshield installed and calibrated.
Pros: brand new OEM windshield, properly installed and calibrated
Since bunch of sensors in the mirror mount don’t go with SafeLite insurance bootleg glass. Get an OEM glass.
Pros: OEM glass recommended
Cons: Safelite aftermarket not recommended, sensor issues
I literally just went to safelite through my insurance company last Thursday to get my windshield fixed on my A5 and I just paid my deductible and it was replaced with an OEM windshield. Easy peasy.
Pros: OEM windshield installed, easy process
Vehicle:
Audi A5
With HUD it’s always better to get OEM glass so you don’t deal with distortion of the image.
Pros: no image distortion, better with HUD
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
The windshield on the 2020–2025 Kia Telluride features a distinctive design: the center portion at the top of the windshield is lowered, while the two upper corners are raised upward. This unique Telluride design somewhat compromises forward visibility inside the cabin, particularly for drivers with a higher seating position, where the effect becomes more pronounced. Moreover, this sharp-angled configuration is prone to stress concentration, which I suspect may be the reason behind reported cases of the windshield cracking spontaneously without apparent cause.
Pros: distinctive design
Cons: compromises forward visibility
Vehicle:
Kia

My 2025 Sx Prestige had it's windshield just replaced because of a rock. Chipped and splintered.. then went all the way across. Safelite says they are seeing a ton of 2025 vehicles for the same thing. 21 years of driving and this is my first windshield replacement. 4k miles on the van btw Our 2023 never had issues.
Cons: cracked easily, first replacement ever
