Windshield OEM Audi or OEM KIA
I had the windshield on my S5 replaced a couple years ago and the non Audi brand “OEM equivalent” windshield the shop installed first messed up the image, it was a double image out of focus. When they replaced it with the Audi branded OEM windshield the heads up was good again.
Pros: correct HUD image
Vehicle:
Audi S5
KIA/Hyndai windshields are hot garbage. You should try to add glass coverage on your insurance. I have a $50 deductible on mine and safelite replaced it with an aftermarket windshield that won’t crack. Plus my HUD still works on my SX Prestige
Pros: HUD still works
Cons: windshields are hot garbage
Everything works as expected still, I swear it’s quieter on the highway now too and no leaks…obviously but look I was paranoid of anything less than a precise install.
Pros: works as expected, quieter on highway, no leaks
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Got OEM glass, no more distortion, much more quiet.
Pros: no distortion, much quieter
Vehicle:
Audi S3
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
I had a Sportage 2023 and kia for the first time and had to replace windshield twice in the one year I Had the car. I drive benz and I get rocks and hit on the glass and never had I ever replaced a windshield on them. I agree these kia windshields are weaker
Cons: replaced twice in year, weaker glass
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Same thing happened with my forte
Cons: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Kia
I have a 2023 Sportage SX and got a rock chip within the first month of owning it. Just got another one last month. Both while driving on the interstate. My husband was driving for the second one and didn't even know a rock had hit it, that's how small the rock had to have been. I had 3 Mazda 3's before this and never had any rock chips during those 7 years driving the same roads. I definitely think its the windshield.
Cons: rock chip within month, chips from small rocks
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
I purchased a certified pre-owned 18 Optima in 2020, and maybe months later, a little crack started out of nowhere right at the start of the top of the windshield. Over time, it spread all the way to the bottom in two different directions.
Cons: crack started out of nowhere, crack spread
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Had ours crack in the same week and those Kia windshields are not cheap
Cons: cracked quickly, expensive
