Windshield OEM Audi or OEM Volvo
First highway trip on my 2018 XC60, got a chip on the windshield. Replaced by the dealer with $500 deductible.
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
My 2015.5 V60, I replaced my windshield several times. The shop wouldn't let me get a 3rd party glass, only a Volvo branded windshield. The shop even disputed with the insurance when they wanted to use 3rd party glass due to the safety features.
Pros: Volvo branded windshield
Cons: no 3rd party glass
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
I have had two XC90 windshields replaced. Did both at the dealer because of the equipment mounted behind the glass - after replacement they took care of whatever reset codes and calibration were needed.
Pros: reset codes and calibration
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
Went to the dealer got oem glass and it almost looks like factory even the little plastic clip is there. The only thing that's wrong is that they covered the vin with some glue. If they fixed it like they should I'm really happy cause other places might not fit original glass. Already talked with the dealer so I guess there will be no problems fixing that flaw.
Pros: looks like factory, plastic clip present
Cons: VIN covered with glue
I had Safelite replace my windshield, and they ordered me an OEM windshield from my local Volvo dealer where I do my service. They recalibrated the cameras for me as well and I've had no problems. Safelite is perfectly fine for glass replacement.
Pros: no problems, cameras recalibrated
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
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
When I bought my S6, the previous owner had replaced the windhsield at some point. Well, adaptive cruise active lane keep, and audi brake guard was non functioning. Audi replaced the windshield for one that supportd the camera and I was told it was pretty damn expensive
Pros: supports the camera
Cons: pretty damn expensive
Vehicle:
Audi S6
I’ve replaced the windshield in my Audi twice. Both replacements are inferior compared to the windshield installed from the factory. For example, the first replacement got hit by a rock and pulverized the glass. It put a hole through the glass.
Cons: replacements are inferior
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
my 2018 S5 slammed on the brakes randomly a few times, and I have the original windshield.
Cons: random braking
Vehicle:
Audi S5
3 windshields the first 2 years of my Volvo xc90, then none the next 3
Pros: none the next 3
Cons: 3 windshields the first 2
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
