Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Audi
I got OEM glass and my dealership told me to go to Safelite. I paid my glass deductible only. All my recalibrations are holding up for 2+ years.
Pros: recalibrations holding up, long-term reliability
Just make sure to say you want OEM glass, not whatever aftermarket one they might try to force you into.
Pros: OEM glass recommended
Cons: aftermarket glass not recommended
Vehicle:
Audi S8
Gonna be at least $2k+ for OEM windshield. They have to calibrate it again that’s why. Aftermarket is probably $1k or less but I don’t recommend getting an aftermarket one. Go OEM.
Pros: OEM recommended
Cons: aftermarket not recommended, expensive
Vehicle:
Audi S6
got an exact OEM replacement glass with all the sensors, etc back working 100% perfect with no issues now after 2.5 years with that replacement.
Pros: working 100% perfect, no issues
Vehicle:
Audi Q8
I got a cx 30 used 2022 this year as well and I had already claimed the chip and windshield protection within a few months of owning the car due to one chip that turned into a crack, so far with Safelite tho it's holding up now
Pros: repair holding up
Cons: chip turned into crack
Vehicle:
Mazda
It’s pretty common where I live to get windshield chips and cracks, but it feels like the CX-50 has a weaker windshield than the previous Mazda 3s that I’ve owned. I’m pretty disappointed in the quality of the windshield it came with.
Cons: weaker windshield, disappointed in quality

Mazda
Ive replaced 2 of these in the last 3 months on my RS3. OEM glass at the dealership both times.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement needed
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
Audi must have an issue with their windshield. Am on my second crack in 3 months.
Cons: prone to cracking, poor durability
Vehicle:
Audi
I experienced the same issue on my 2021 CX-5. Two chips in a week or so of ownership. I never had windshield build quality issues with any of my previous cars.
Cons: two chips in a week
Vehicle:
Mazda
2024 Mazda CX-30 windshield cracked from first Little Rock to hit it then got another small crack randomly, I believe at least these models do have a awkwardly shaped windshield that makes it noticeable weaker in comparison to most vehicles
Cons: cracked easily, awkwardly shaped, weaker
