Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Honda
Just had mine replaced through the dealership. I could've used safelight, but I didn't want to chance any issues with the HUD, etc.
Pros: avoided HUD issues
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I had to replace my X3 M40i and opted for the OEM windshield to ensure none of the above is compromised. It’s also the most visible and most used while driving so I personally wouldn’t cut corners for this.
Pros: ensures proper function, no compromise
Vehicle:
BMW X3
when i bought my car, i paid 450 for a warranty that covers the windshield, it uses OEM glass replacement. I used said warranty probably 6 months into owning my new ridgeline and new OEM glass+install etc was $1787. Was the only time i felt like i bought something that is usually a rip off, that was totally awesome.
Pros: OEM glass replacement, good warranty
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
I’ve had my glass replaced in 2016 on a 2015 435i with heads up display and insurance covered the OEM replacement BMW logos and all. Only complaint was the tech put a small scratch in my heads up with his jagged ass vacuum cleaner tip but he owned up to it and wrote and signed it on the receipt in case I wanted to make a claim about it. It didn’t affect the heads up so I let it go.
Pros: OEM replacement, BMW logos, insurance covered
Cons: tech scratched HUD
Vehicle:
BMW
My 2024 has so small many small chips in it. I drive the same commute without any issues for years with my old car and then bam. All of a sudden chips out of nowhere. The windshield quality sucks.
Cons: many small chips, quality sucks
Vehicle:
Honda
My factory windshield cracked in two different places within the first 4 months I had the car. I would say they were smallish rocks that caused the damage.
Cons: cracked easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Honda
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
OEM glass sucks and pits the easiest. Makes sense because my 07 with 78k miles has way worse glass than my others cars with double the mileage.
Cons: pits easily, worse quality
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Mileage: 125529 km
