I had mine replaced... took a good sized rock to the windshield on our Premium trim PHEV. (Heads up display, lane monitoring, ect.) The smashed middle of the damage made repair a no go.
I did it through Safelite and they used an OEM because there was no aftermarket available. Glass Only Repair Insurance saved us $2,000.00 out of pocket after glass, install and recalibration.
Pros: OEM available, insurance savings
Cons: rock damage, repair impossible
Vehicle:
Mazda
when i bought my car, i paid 450 for a warranty that covers the windshield, it uses OEM glass replacement. I used said warranty probably 6 months into owning my new ridgeline and new OEM glass+install etc was $1787. Was the only time i felt like i bought something that is usually a rip off, that was totally awesome.
Pros: OEM glass replacement, good warranty
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
Make sure you get an OEM windshield. Probably pay extra but Ridgelines have an acoustic windshield and if you don’t specify your truck will be noticeably noisier.
Pros: acoustic, less noisy
Cons: noticeably noisier
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
I had this happen on a 2021.5 Mazda CX-5. There was a very small scratch on the passenger side that resembled the wipe pattern of the wiper blade.
Cons: small scratch, wipe pattern
Vehicle:

I purchased a new 2024 Honda Accord EX in August 2024, yesterday 6-7-2025 temperatures reached 94⁰ in my location, when I got in car around 1:30 pm I noticed a split starting from window frame covering near windshield wipers, once I turn AC on the split increase more that 6 increase which currently is more that 8 inching center windshield.
There hasn't been any rocks or debr hitting windshield.
Cons: spontaneous cracking, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I experienced the same issue on my 2021 CX-5. Two chips in a week or so of ownership. I never had windshield build quality issues with any of my previous cars.
Cons: two chips in a week
Vehicle:
Mazda
My 2021 Accord's windshield looks like it has been sandblasted, has a lot of pits, and a couple of chips, and it's just been a year since I got it. I keep a lot of following distance. Every time I am on the interstate, I just hope I get back home without a new crack, and I always hope I don't hear a sound in the windshield when I am passing a semi. No other brand car that I have driven had a windshield this weak.
Cons: sandblasted appearance, weak glass
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
2024 Mazda CX-30 windshield cracked from first Little Rock to hit it then got another small crack randomly, I believe at least these models do have a awkwardly shaped windshield that makes it noticeable weaker in comparison to most vehicles
Cons: cracked easily, awkwardly shaped, weaker
Vehicle:
Mazda
