Pilkington auto glass for our replacement windshield. Pilkington glass is FAR superior to Subaru’s OEM glass. It’s taken some small rock hits on the highway with no problems whatsoever.
I have an aftermarket pinketon glass on another car. Frankly, on that car, it seemed more durable than the factory glass.
No problem w replaced our 4th with a Pilkington! The first 3 with OEM - big mistake x 3. The last was a Pilkington and it’s lasted many times longer than the other 3 OEMs combined. We also think it’s taken some hits that would have definitely shattered an OEM.
I replaced my cracked windshield with OEE glass, which was Pilkington EZ Kool. The shop recalibrated my camera for the pre-collision assist, and it's functioned like normal.
Aftermarket. Pilkington if given a choice.
Not only is Subaru (Carlex) glass not required, you don't even want it if given a choice. Go for aftermarket glass, Pilkington if you can. Zero issues with eyesight after calibration.
When you get your first replacement, don’t get an OEM get a Pilkington brand.
I put factory glass in my wife's new CR-V. It was nothing but drama. My Honda parts friend/ manager got me the glass at an excellent price but we had to check for damage before I signed for it. Out of the box it comes and was perfect. So load it back in the box, into the CR-V and off to the glass dude.
Just scheduled to have the windshield replaced for a 4th time in 5 years. All replacements have been OEM glass. I don’t even drive the car much just tired of paying my deductible once every year or so. Today I was driving on the highway and randomly heard a small rock hit the windshield and next I noticed there was a small crack on the upper right corner. 10 minutes later it expanded to over 2 feet long. Owned a Camry for over 10 years never had to replace the windshield despite hearing several rocks and chips hitting the windshield. Do I just have bad luck with the Honda Pilot windshields or are they just more prone to breaking.
So I used a company besides safelite to replace my windshield because they stressed that they only use OEM glass, but after they replaced it, its stamped Pilkington instead of Mazda, and while the glass says its HUD rated I felt like my eyes were straining to look at it.
