Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM FORD
Unfortunately, as you can see from how much of it is parts, an OEM windshield is expensive on modern cars. It\u2019s usually worth it, as the third party windshields may not look different, but they often sound different, as Ford is increasing their use of acoustic glass
Pros: acoustic glass
Cons: expensive OEM windshield
Safelite replaced it with genuine Ford OEM glass, complete with the 75th Anniversary badging on the glass. The guy that did my glass was an absolute pro, and I can't tell the difference between the original and replacement.
Pros: genuine Ford OEM glass, absolute pro, no difference
Vehicle:
Ford
I had to replace mine after a rock chip turned into a crack on a snow trip. Used safelite and the came to my office and did exact OEM replacement and calibration. It actually came out better as my original had a giant Ford sticker lol.
Pros: exact OEM replacement, came out better

Windshield tech here. These windshields being almost straight up and down makes them very prone to rock chips, and the quality of Ford OEM glass has been getting worse by the year, it’s incredibly thin. If you replace it I would suggest putting in OE glass instead, if you can, ask for PGW or FYG glass.
Pros: PGW or FYG glass suggested
Cons: Ford OEM glass is thin

I got my first chip after 2 months, then within that week two more rocks hit it and it cracked. I decided to ignore it as it seems like they designed it to catch as many rocks as possible.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily, poor design
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Driving home from the dealership two dump trucks pulled onto the highway and threw rocks at me. Less than 1 hour.
Cons: damaged quickly
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
The windshield cracked while the Bronco was parked! It just cracked spontaneously.
Cons: spontaneous cracking, poor reliability
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
my Fusion daily driver got 3 chips with one forming a crack completely across the windshield, just got that one replaced a couple weeks ago for free.
Cons: multiple chips, cracked completely
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
Mine came with bad scratches, so they replaced it.
Cons: came with scratches
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
The Bronco glass does seem to crack way easier than anything else I've owned. Keep in mind our weather temps in Canada can be a bit extreme though.
Cons: cracks easily, poor durability
