Windshield OEM FORD or OEM Volvo
I opted for OEM replacement glass to ensure nothing fucky happened to Blue Cruise and related features. The Safelite tech will recalibrate the sensors when done to ensure everything functions as expected. Overall, installation was quick and I'm going on over a year with the new windshield and it's been no trouble.
Pros: functions as expected, no trouble, quick installation
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
We told Safelite it had to be OEM/Volvo windshield due to the vehicle being a lease. We paid our $50 glass deductible and they replaced it with OEM as we requested. They also calibrated everything in house at their shop. Pretty smooth process!
Pros: OEM as requested, smooth process
Vehicle:
Volvo
We had gotten a chip on our 2018 ford explorer and that thing didn’t budge/spread at all! 2 years after it happened, many road trips later and it never got bigger.
Pros: chip didn't spread, durable
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
Safelite replaced mine and yes, they will use a factory Ford windshield. Took them less than an hour which included a quick drive to reset the sensors. I've had zero issues since the replacement.
Pros: zero issues, factory Ford
Vehicle:
Ford
I had one 2021 S60 until last month, great for travel, very comfortable, lots of space for two kids.
Only issue was the windshield, change 3 , one for year, talk to the mechanic and said it’s ok, I think the quality of the parts is not what it was.
Pros: great for travel, comfortable
Cons: windshield quality
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
A poorly placed windshield sealant line on my 2020 F-150 led to water leaks in the bottom passenger side corner, dripping onto the BCM. My windshield guy found the sealant bead run right over the corner, a factory kludge, causing BCM issues.
Cons: poor sealant placement, water leaks, BCM issues, factory defect
Vehicle:
Ford
The curved windshield made turning interesting. Everything is so distorted.
Cons: distorted view, turning difficult
Vehicle:
Ford Thunderbird
Yup. Got a 10-12 inch crack from the very bottom in the middle of the windshield just three days after picking up the car (less than 200 miles on the odometer). The dealership said it's not a defect and something must have hit it.
Cons: windshield cracked quickly
Mileage: 321 km
it had several chips in it already, but it was after 2 years
Cons: several chips after 2 years
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
I got my first chip after 2 months, then within that week two more rocks hit it and it cracked. I decided to ignore it as it seems like they designed it to catch as many rocks as possible.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily, poor design
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
