Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Audi
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
I got OEM glass and my dealership told me to go to Safelite. I paid my glass deductible only. All my recalibrations are holding up for 2+ years.
Pros: recalibrations holding up, long-term reliability
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
The timing chain was the first thing to go , which was meant to \u2018last the lifetime\u2019 of the car, which in BMW\u2019s eyes was certainly no more than 95k miles. Expensive to fix! Then the air suspension , oh and the brakes also locked whilst at a friend\u2019s house and parked on the drive , had to be dragged off their drive by the rescue lorry. The rear windshield also just spontaneously exploded while parked on my drive.
Cons: windshield exploded
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Mileage: 95000 km
4 windshields in 2 years for my 2022 540i. Always been a vey small rock with a chip on the edges.
Cons: frequent replacements, chips easily
Vehicle:
BMW
This latest 2022 540i has been the worst on windshields. I’ve never once cracked a windshield. I’m now going on my 4th windshield in two years.
Cons: frequent cracks, fragile, worst experience
Vehicle:
BMW
2021 X3. Ive had four windshield replacements this year! I have had one replacement in 25 years on other cars, and now my BMW seems to get impacted by every single flying rock. I too avoid getting close to trucks and cars, and it still occurs :(
Cons: frequent replacements, impacted by rocks
Vehicle:
BMW X3
