Windshield OEM KIA or OEM Volvo
I had Safelite replace my windshield, and they ordered me an OEM windshield from my local Volvo dealer where I do my service. They recalibrated the cameras for me as well and I've had no problems. Safelite is perfectly fine for glass replacement.
Pros: no problems, cameras recalibrated
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
I've gotten 3 volvo xc90 windshields replaced, all volvo brand at safelite. The 3rd one has been holding up fine.
Pros: holding up fine
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
Mine is still holding on well after almost a year and a half despite several roadtrips on I-80 and a particularly terrible drive to Fargo where a couple of gigantic semis were on the opposite end of a milled one-lane road and flung a bunch of stuff on to my windshield.
Pros: holding on well, durable
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
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
Had ours crack in the same week and those Kia windshields are not cheap
Cons: cracked quickly, expensive
My 23 Sportage windshield cracked from the tiniest pebble hitting it. The pebble sound was barely audible. Meanwhile boulders have rained on my 2016 Flex and it’s never left a mark, let alone a crack. The windshield quality on Kia’s are crap.
Cons: cracked from tiny pebble, poor quality
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mines cracked on me within 6 months.... rock smacked it from a stupid truck with after market tires... Not even 24hrs later, whole line through the windshield. One time some large construction vehicle on the opposite side of the road fling something at my shield. It was really weird, my lady was with me, and she was also confused how it happened. it left a scratch on the glass, thankfully it never turned into nothing more.
Cons: cracked within 6 months, cracked quickly
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
This is the 3rd time I’m going to have to replace my windshield this year because you even look at it the wrong way and the glass cracks. Not really, but you’d think the top of the line trim would have glass that is more durable. Never had this issue with any other car I’ve had.
Cons: glass cracks easily, not durable
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
I have a 23 SXP and on my 4th windshield.
Cons: frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Kia
Rock hit right at the top of my windshield and now the crack is traveling around the windshield.
Cons: cracked easily, crack spreading
Vehicle:
Kia
