I got a crack in my windshield on my ‘19 Tucson. Took it to safelite (specialty shop that only does glass repairs) and was charged $700 for the windshield and calibration.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Cons: lack of OEM
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
I replaced my windshield a couple months back on my 2022 Hyundai Sonata.
Went with a local auto glass repair shop and they charged $1,500 for the glass and labor fee. They shop needed to special order the glass from Hyundai and took about 1 week.
Pros: sensors work fine
Cons: expensive, long wait
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
I’m already on my second replaced windshield with a crack already in it. Kia glass is weak as shit. 2 weeks ago I barely heard a rock tink off my glass and it cracked ( I was able to get it filled before it spread) but I’ve already got another from earlier this winter.
Cons: weak glass, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Kia Sorento
Same thing happened on my 2023 Soul. Now the issue is waiting for a windshield. The 2022 is slightly different and 2023 windshields just don’t seem to exist. It’s been awhile and safelite can’t seem to get Kia to send one.
Cons: cracked easily, difficult to replace
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
I had this happen on a previous Forte I had. A rock hit the black area (where the glass is glued) and the crack went across the whole glass. When rocks hit the black area it will almost always cause this type of damage because that part of the car holds a lot of structural weight for the car (vs say the middle of the glass). The glass safelite used was the actual oem glass so it made little difference.
Cons: cracked easily, structural weakness
Vehicle:
Kia
I’m not sure if a rock hit it or what happened. I didn’t hear it or see it but I noticed the crack coming from the bottom driver side corner while driving. It has spread pretty quickly up into my line of sight and over to the passengers line of sight. I read online that there has been some issues with the glass used on the 2023 kias.
Cons: cracked quickly, spread quickly
Vehicle:
Kia
After how easy mine cracked , I don't even care if it's OEM so I'm going after market.
Cons: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
I bought the Venue 2023 on Jan 21st. The following Wednesday, driving under a pedestrian bridge (no cars ahead of me) and BOOM, hear a very loud bang and get a big chip plus cracks on the windshield near the very bottom. One crack spread a lot, and this morning I heard the tiniest sound of a rock hitting my windshield and immediately got a 2ft long crack coming off the existing chip (not spreading from another crack). It does sound like I get a lot of wind noise from the windshield itself, plus feels like cold air coming in from the entire front of my car since purchase, which I've never noticed before with my other non-Hyundai vehicles.
Cons: chips easily, cracks spread, wind noise, cold air
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Not even a mile from the dealer, noticed a small crack at the base of the windshield, about an inch. They filled the crack, but i do not feel comfortable with this at all. I asked about this specifically before buying, and the dealer tried to make me feel like an idiot, like this was a nonissue! Low and behold, here I am, waiting for my winshield to explode on me.
Cons: cracked on delivery, uncomfortable with repair

Kia
Mileage: 1 km
A tiny pebble hit the windshield going less than 40 mph on a small road in Montana, cracked the windshield about 8 inches.! The crack spread another 4-5 inches. Was pissed the windshield cracked. Didn't even have 6k miles on the car. Kia supposedly fixed the eggshell windshield problems, but they haven't. The resin on the telluride windshield has finally given up and a new crack has spread out from this initial crack and traveled about 12 inches out from the other crack. Don't even want another factory Kia windshield, want something stronger.!
Cons: cracked easily, poor durability, cracks spread quickly

Kia
