Windshield OEM FORD or OEM Volvo
The windshield has pegs that line up to the car to make the install perfect every time. No other issues to speak of, the windshield and BC is perfect.
Pros: perfect alignment, perfect function

Ford Mustang
Just had my 2022 xc60 recharge windshield replaced by Safelite (insurance coop). They used oem Volvo glass and did the recalibration at their shop near my home. All went well, and a couple weeks have gone by with lots of rain and no issues.
Pros: all went well, no issues
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
Not even a week later the karma wheel turned and a huge chunk off ice came off a black Ford explorer and took out my windshield.

Heated Windshield Hi, had one in my Ford Scorpio some 20 years ago! Fantastic piece of kit.
Pros: fantastic piece of kit
Vehicle:
Ford Scorpio
I have a 2007 V70 with the 2.5 but went FWD when looking at these cause I figured it would be less of a headache than the AWD models. Had mine for about 16 months, bought at 66k, with 71k on it now, no issues.
Pros: Comfort, hauling capacity
Cons: Gas mileage, turning radius
Vehicle:
Volvo V70
Mileage: 71000 km
I had the same issue with the oem windshield on my wife's 2014 Ford Escape. From the drivers side the blurr was so bad it made my head hurt.
Pros: blurr was so bad
Cons: made my head hurt
Vehicle:
Ford Escape
The windshield cracks easily. I had the same problem month in. My windshield was also on back order for 3 months the rep told me there was a lot on order and they were having a hard time keeping them on hand.
Cons: cracks easily, long backorder
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
My Outer Banks I’ve had for 1 year as of this week. I replaced my windshield after 1 month for a crack and then two days later got another. I waited till I had 15 chips and cracks in it before replacing it again. Within a month had two more chips, the windshield is definitely a big problem
Cons: prone to chips, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
We are having the same issues with the windshields cracking and chipping quite easily. I wonder if Auto Manufacturer's went to a cheaper glass for cost cutting.
Cons: cracking easily, chipping easily, cheaper glass
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
Earlier today I went under an overpass that was dripping melting snow. A few seconds later, water began streaking down the INSIDE of my windshield. It was entering pretty much dead center of the glass, where the rearview mirror is. It was also entering over on the passenger side (right side, American car). I've looked online and seen that this isn't an uncommon issue with Volvo glass it looks like.
Cons: water streaking inside windshield, uncommon issue with glass
Vehicle:
Volvo C30
Mileage: 96560 km
