Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Honda
For my X5 M comp I go with the ultimate tire/wheel, windshield, ext maintenance (5 not 7). Curb rash one rim and you make it back… WS replacement from crack is the same. BMW glass has gotten softer and more prone.
Pros: make it back
Cons: BMW glass softer
Vehicle:
BMW X5
My suggestion is to put in a claim to your insurance company and insist on a replacement with a genuine Honda OEM, (Original Equipment Manufacture), windshield.
Pros: genuine OEM windshield
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
My Model S plan went from $15->$20 monthly and I’m keeping it. I had to replace a windshield on my BMW earlier this year at $1300 out of pocket.
Pros: cheaper than out of pocket
Cons: increase in cost
Good luck in this, had a 2018 Accord and had a "cheaper" windshield installed and it never calibrated/worked correctly. went and got the factory 3x the price and calibrated and all is good.
Pros: calibrated and all good
Cons: never calibrated/worked correctly
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Bro I have bad news for you, forget about ten years from now, *they don't even support the car today*. I brought it to my Honda dealership where I bought it for a cracked windshield and they turned me away and said they cant do windshields on it.
Cons: dealership doesn't support windshields
Vehicle:
Honda
In over 20+ years of owning BMWs, and 35 years of owning other brands, I’ve never had a windshield crack. Then yesterday my 2024 M4 X40i with 7000 miles got hit by a people and bam, not just a chip, it cracked halfway across. Unfortunately, mine is on the driver’s side, right at my eyeline.
Cons: cracked easily, chipped easily
Vehicle:
BMW M4
Mileage: 11265 km
the OEM wind shield on my 2023 ridgeline is the worst of any car I have had. In the first year I had 4 minor chips and one large chip that spread all across the window.
Cons: prone to chips, poor durability
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
I had OEM glass just installed in a Honda and it has a mean distortion towards the far passenger side edge. Luckily it’s not in my line of sight and I can live with it. But yeah, even OEM sucks. I feel like overall quality has gone down on glass. The replacement glass got a chip in it two weeks later (got it filled).
Pros: not in line of sight, can live with it
Cons: mean distortion, got a chip
Vehicle:
Honda
On my 2022 540i, I went through 3 windshields during my 3 year lease. Felt like the glass with HUD is made of sugar these days.
Cons: poor durability, fragile glass
Vehicle:
BMW
Same with our 2021 Honda Accord. Our accord we babied and had the windshield repaired 4 times and it was only ever driven on pavement. The windshield cracks when dirt hits it.
Cons: cracks easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
