Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
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
Got a chip in the second week after I bought my 2023 CX5. It was so frustrating, I was passing a slow truck and it had just rained and there was some gravel on the road. The rock was huge though, so I think that was the major issue. I have had small rocks hit the windshield but they did not have any impact.
Pros: resistant to small rocks
Cons: chipped by large rock
Vehicle:
Mazda
These windshields are shit. I didn’t even get 500 miles before mine cracked by an object so small I didn’t even notice it until the following day.
Cons: poor quality, cracked easily
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Mileage: 805 km
Unfortunately the quality of the OEM glass is horrible and I had them replace it again. The replacement was just as bad so at this point I've given up on getting a windshield free of distortion.
Cons: horrible quality, distortion issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
I just came looking for this post because I cannot believe the amount of chips and cracks I'm having with this car. Just had safelight out for the 3rd time and haven't even reached a full year with this car yet.
Cons: amount of chips and cracks
Vehicle:
Mazda
Garbage. I got scratches from scratching ice of the windshield in my first year. Even my old Renault Clio hadn't had this sh1t of quality in it's windshield.
Cons: scratches easily, poor quality
Vehicle:
Mazda
When I had my CX-5, I've never had so many cracks in my windshield as I did with this car. Constant cracks, chips... I've never seen anything like it. I've been driving for 40 years and this was the first and only vehicle which always suffered cracks and chips.
Cons: constant cracks, chips
Vehicle:
Mazda
weak glass from my similar experience. I will say I have less bad luck with the 3 Hondas and they get more miles on the same roads.
Cons: weak glass
Vehicle:
Mazda
