Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Audi
The windshield on our 21 Q5e cracked from a stone chip. Took it to Safelite down the road from our house. Insurance covered 100% and that included calibration. Everything works as it should--that was 6 months or so ago. Used oem glass.
Pros: everything works as should
Vehicle:
Audi
I had my old windshield replaced through my insurance. The repair shop would use a cheap replacement windshield which in turn didn't sit well on the car and even the VIN number was obscured. It was so bad I was appalled! After some back and forth, I eventually got it replaced again with an OEM one and it looks much better.
Pros: looks much better
Cons: didn't sit well, VIN obscured
I once got an after market replacement and hud was blurry and not usable. Insurance finally approved OEM.
Pros: HUD usable
Cons: HUD blurry, not usable
My insurance made me go after market and it took 3 windshields before OEM was approved. The HUD was blurry or on a slat. Or both. It gave me a headache. Once the OEM was in it was perfect again.
Pros: HUD perfect
Cons: HUD blurry, gave headache
I got a rock chip in my brand new cx50 on a highway, thankfully it was small enough to be patched up by a professional
Pros: patchable chip
Cons: got a rock chip
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’ve replaced the windshield in my Audi twice. Both replacements are inferior compared to the windshield installed from the factory. For example, the first replacement got hit by a rock and pulverized the glass. It put a hole through the glass.
Cons: replacements are inferior
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
My Mazda out of no where a small crack showed up in the middle of my travel it was 3” long and by the next day it was 2 feet long When I inspected the crack it starts at the edge of the glass with no indication of a dent like something hit it
Cons: crack appeared suddenly, crack grew rapidly
Vehicle:
Mazda
safelite replaced the windshield with OEM one , but at the time of delivery i saw a scratch at the bottom, they tried to clean, scrub it , but no success. At last they asked me to come next week as it had to be replaced again.
Cons: scratch on delivery, required replacement
Vehicle:
Mazda
my 2018 S5 slammed on the brakes randomly a few times, and I have the original windshield.
Cons: random braking
Vehicle:
Audi S5
I was actually happy that it’s not an OEM windshield because mine cracked hella easy and a bunch of people had issues with warping, so I don’t think quality was there to begin with.
Cons: cracked easily, warping issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
