Windshield OEM Honda or OEM Volvo
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

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
the OEM wind shield on my 2023 ridgeline is the worst of any car I have had. In the first year I had 4 minor chips and one large chip that spread all across the window.
Cons: prone to chips, poor durability
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
I had OEM glass just installed in a Honda and it has a mean distortion towards the far passenger side edge. Luckily it’s not in my line of sight and I can live with it. But yeah, even OEM sucks. I feel like overall quality has gone down on glass. The replacement glass got a chip in it two weeks later (got it filled).
Pros: not in line of sight, can live with it
Cons: mean distortion, got a chip
Vehicle:
Honda
Same with our 2021 Honda Accord. Our accord we babied and had the windshield repaired 4 times and it was only ever driven on pavement. The windshield cracks when dirt hits it.
Cons: cracks easily, poor durability

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
