Windshield OEM FORD or OEM KIA
Safelite replaced it with genuine Ford OEM glass, complete with the 75th Anniversary badging on the glass. The guy that did my glass was an absolute pro, and I can't tell the difference between the original and replacement.
Pros: genuine Ford OEM glass, absolute pro, no difference
Vehicle:
Ford
I had to replace mine after a rock chip turned into a crack on a snow trip. Used safelite and the came to my office and did exact OEM replacement and calibration. It actually came out better as my original had a giant Ford sticker lol.
Pros: exact OEM replacement, came out better
Vehicle:
Ford
I had my Flash windshield replaced. New one looks great and did not notice any noise increase.
Pros: looks great, no noise increase
Vehicle:
Ford
Personally, I think the Kia windshields are on the thinner side. I have over 40K on my Carnival and no cracks whatsoever.
Pros: no cracks after 40K
Cons: windshields thinner side
Vehicle:
Kia Carnival
Mileage: 64374 km
Mine came with bad scratches, so they replaced it.
Cons: came with scratches
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
The Bronco glass does seem to crack way easier than anything else I've owned. Keep in mind our weather temps in Canada can be a bit extreme though.
Cons: cracks easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
I know how to repair windshield chips to prevent them from spreading myself, but as soon as it chips in the bronco, the cracks spread like wildfire and are >6” before I get home!
Cons: cracks spread quickly, poor chip resistance
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
We went on a trip in the new car and everyone felt that the heat rejection from the windshield isn't impressive or nearly as good as the Baleno. The Baleno, in my experience, cuts out 90%+ of the heat from direct sunlight falling on your body and the Seltos is at maybe 30%.
Pros: Baleno cuts out heat
Cons: Seltos heat rejection poor
Vehicle:
Kia
I had a Sportage 2023 and kia for the first time and had to replace windshield twice in the one year I Had the car. I drive benz and I get rocks and hit on the glass and never had I ever replaced a windshield on them. I agree these kia windshields are weaker
Cons: replaced twice in year, weaker glass
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Same thing happened with my forte
Cons: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Kia
