Windshield OEM BMW or OEM KIA
I used SafeLite on my X3 and they used OEM glass and no problems. Everything works perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Pros: no problems, works perfectly
Vehicle:
BMW X3
If you are paying out of pocket, you should insist on an OEM windshield. Otherwise, the HUD may not be clear or focused.
Pros: clear HUD, focused HUD
Vehicle:
BMW
528i xdrive 2014 here ..just experienced my 1st full replacement at 115k miles...just for a good reference
Pros: long lasting, good durability
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 185074 km
The glass is not great, at least that’s been my experience for my M3. It’s gotten to the point that I’m getting too good at those repair kits.
Cons: glass is not great
Vehicle:
BMW
This is the 3rd time I’m going to have to replace my windshield this year because you even look at it the wrong way and the glass cracks. Not really, but you’d think the top of the line trim would have glass that is more durable. Never had this issue with any other car I’ve had.
Cons: glass cracks easily, not durable
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
