Windshield OEM Hyundai or OEM KIA
Reviews
requested a genuine Kia replacement so it still looks factory. Safelite. They did a good job.
Pros: looks factory, good job
Vehicle:
Kia
I used safelite for my Hyundai Palisade, had to get approval from Progressive for OEM. They approved, took vehicle to Safelite a week later and they replaced the windshield and calibrated in 3hrs.
Pros: quick windshield replacement
Cons: needed insurance approval
Vehicle:
Hyundai
The windshield has already given out on me. It appears as if a rock chip turned into a crack almost instantly and I’m concerned if this is a common occurrence because I saw some others mentioning it. I’m out $800-900 for the repair and another month or two waiting on the windshield as it is on back order. I haven’t seen a windshield crack this easy and I’m scared it will happen again. The car is so new there is no aftermarket options for the windshield so you are forced to go with the OEM option.
Cons: cracks instantly, expensive repair, long wait time, no aftermarket options
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Definitely the weakest windshield ive had. I have had the car since Sept and already have like 5 or 6 knicks in windshield and NOTHING on the paint or bumper.
Pros: nothing on paint or bumper
Cons: weakest windshield ive had
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I bought my venue last Saturday, a week later a tiny pebble hit it on the highway and later noticed a crack. After not too long and it being parked, the crack got noticably longer. I have never in my life had a windshield break like that, ever, let alone for it to just grow.
Cons: cracks easily, cracks spread quickly
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I noticed this summer when I go over bumps, the windshield makes a creaking noise. It's been getting worse and worse. A technician found that basically the bottom 2/3rds of the windshield isn't actually adhered down to the car anymore. It's being held down by the top 1/3 of adhesive and the molding. This is clearly a manufacturing defect since it's the OEM windshield with no cracks or chips.
Cons: creaking noise, not adhered, manufacturing defect

My venue just took the first ever rock to the windshield ive noticed and it cracked about 5” and was 2ft my the morning. Never had one continue to break that far that fast. Probably shitty quality to keep the prices down on the vehicle
Cons: cracks easily, cracks spread quickly, poor quality
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I’ve had my 2022 Telluride for 10 months and have replaced the windshield twice already due to the cracks that quickly turn to very long cracks stretching across my windshield. I’ve never had to replace a windshield in any of my cars prior to this car, and having gone through 3 windshields (including the original) within 10 months has been annoying.
Cons: cracks quickly, frequent replacement needed, annoying
Vehicle:
Kia
I have been driving since 1997, many different cars and never ever had to replace a windshield. I purchased my 2017 Santa Fe about 2 years ago, and have replaced my windshield twice already.
Cons: frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
My 2023 Rio had some little chips brand new had them fix em on the spot
Cons: chips when new
Vehicle:
Kia Rio
