Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Volvo
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
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
I've gotten 3 volvo xc90 windshields replaced, all volvo brand at safelite. The 3rd one has been holding up fine.
Pros: holding up fine
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
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
Note, I've replaced it with OEM glass, the installer said something from BMW that's the issue, they don't use enough silicon to give the windshield some flex.
Cons: not enough silicon, flex issue

BMW

I’ve owned 6 BMWs every one of them got cracked windshields, some multiple times….i always got oem…
Cons: prone to cracking
Vehicle:
BMW
I recently purchased a 2024 330i M-Sport a little over a month ago and it seems my car attracts rocks or something because my windshield is covered in these tiny little chips. I thought it was dirt or something at first; but, after close inspection, they are indeed chips. I’ve had cars that have gone through hell and back without any damage at all. I’ve been taking it relatively easy on the car, just commuting to work and back just for this to happen so soon. If it keeps going at this rate, it’s gonna accumulate so many that it’s gonna bother the shit out of me more than it does now and I’m gonna want to replace it.
Cons: chips easily, fragile
Vehicle:
BMW
2021 M550. On 4th windshield. Don’t tailgate and don’t live in “the city.” The smallest pebble cracks every time.
Cons: cracks easily, fragile
Vehicle:
BMW
My windshield cracked in the first 500 miles of owning my BMW. Same situation…..wasn’t tailgating and didn’t even see where it came from. But one little rocked cracked it 12 inches and had to replace the whole windshield.
Cons: cracked easily, small rock damage
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 805 km
First week I got my BMW, small chip that quickly turned into a huge crack ????
Cons: chips easily, cracks quickly
Vehicle:
BMW
