Reviews
Best $250 I ever spent on my NA Miata bought in Reno was a new windshield; makes the convertible experience so much better. Highly recommend.
Pros: better convertible experience
Vehicle:
Mazda
I just had the windshield replaced on my CX-50 a two of weeks ago. A local shop handled the install but ordered the glass directly from Mazda. My family’s had bad experiences with aftermarket glass in the past, so that pushed me toward OEM; especially since my car’s less than a year old.
If you’re paying out of pocket, aftermarket could still be the more practical option. I went through my insurance, so it was fully covered, but the total bill came to about $1,700 and the glass took nearly four months to arrive.
Pros: Preferred OEM quality
Cons: Long delivery time
Vehicle:
Mazda
The new windshield has the Mazda logo and the HUD seems just as I remember it without any ripple. Unfortunately I noticed some damage to the rain sensor, so am working with the dealership again to get that replaced. Luckily the windshield does not have to come off for that.
Pros: HUD without ripple, Mazda logo
Cons: damage to rain sensor
Vehicle:
Mazda
Example: windshields have to be lighter, so they are thinner. Any little rock will destroy one of our Mazdas windshield.
Cons: thinner, easily destroyed

I’m going to need a new windshield soon, that will be my 4th one.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I had a scratch on the windshield a few weeks in, then realized I’d have the same issue as I did in my previous Mazda: poor glass quality that scratches even with the windshield wipers.
Cons: poor glass quality, scratches easily
Vehicle:
Mazda
I have a 2021 Hyundai venue and on two occasions now my windshield has spontaneously cracked while parked in my driveway from the lower corners of the windshield and both are going halfway across the windshield spontaneously sitting in my driveway in California I've never had this happen in any other car I've ever owned.
Cons: spontaneous cracking, cracks spread
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Mazda windshields are extremely soft, they scratch and crack easily.
Cons: extremely soft, scratch and crack easily

Had a CX-5 and now a CX-50. It's pretty much a new windshield per year. They crack and chip on every hit.
Cons: cracks and chips easily, new windshield per year
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mine cracked on its own the second day I had it.
Cons: cracked on its own
Vehicle:
