Windshield OEM Hyundai or OEM Volvo
Reviews
The Ioniq 5's windshield is pretty tough.
Pros: pretty tough
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I took my car 5N to Safelite and they did a phenomenally good job. Because the car is so new, there are no 3rd party replacements available, such as PPG. So I have a OEM Hyundai windshield as a replacement. All calibrations were done perfectly, and the job took only a few hours. This isn't an ad for Safelite, just truthfully sharing my experience.
Pros: phenomenally good job
Vehicle:
Hyundai
They ordered Volvo windshields and did my recalibrations. I haven't noticed any issues.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
I ended up going through a reputable local glass shop near me who was able to order the OEM glass from Hyundai (took several weeks) and cost about ~$1,600. They didn’t need to do any camera calibration since they didn’t have to move any camera modules. I haven’t had any problems since then. As for whether to get OEE vs OEM? Really up to you but I really preferred to have the OEM just for peace of mind, especially with a HUD and all.
Pros: peace of mind, no problems
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
I have a 14 year old camry with 4 similar chips in the last 8-10 years, still holding firmly, no cracks. Hyundai windshield doesn't seem to be as strong, saw another palisade owner come in for a rock chip repair while I waited.
Cons: not strong, prone to cracking
This car (or Hyundai) windshields are weak.
Cons: windshields weak
The new Hyundai windshields are kinda terrible and crack very easily from what I have seen and heard, so honestly you would probably be better off going aftermarket anyways
Pros: better than OEM
Cons: crack very easily
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
I have a 2018 Elantra GT sport and just had my windshield replaced due to a crack. The installer basically told me the same about my windshield. The windshield wasn't sealed to the car on the driver's side. It seems only the passenger half was sealed properly. I'm going to report this to Hyundai Canada as this is a potential safety hazard for anyone who gets into an accident or it could lead to water leak issues doen the road.
Cons: windshield not sealed, safety hazard
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
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
3 windshields the first 2 years of my Volvo xc90, then none the next 3
Pros: none the next 3
Cons: 3 windshields the first 2
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
