Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
I took my car 5N to Safelite and they did a phenomenally good job. Because the car is so new, there are no 3rd party replacements available, such as PPG. So I have a OEM Hyundai windshield as a replacement. All calibrations were done perfectly, and the job took only a few hours. This isn't an ad for Safelite, just truthfully sharing my experience.
Pros: phenomenally good job
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Last time I had a windshield replaced by Safelite, they used OEM glass from Mazda. I had to go to my dealer to calibrate the safety systems, but that was before they started advertising that they can now do that.
Pros: OEM glass used
Cons: calibration needed dealer
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mine cost me $1117 to replace and it cracked in that same spot! I wanted an oem one so that’s why I cost that much!
Pros: oem replacement
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
Mazda
We've owned several Mazdas for the last 10-15 years. We had one windshield crack after being hit by a rock from a passing truck. After years of use, we've had no issues with cracked windshields.
Pros: durable over years
Cons: cracked by rock
Vehicle:
Mazda
So on our 2019 we are now on our second replacement windshield. The first one was NOT OEM and we could tell. The HUD was fuzzy with a second mirrored image behind it, the lane detection was not as good, and in bright head on sunlight all the safety features would shut off due to the glare.
Pros: demanded OEM glass
Cons: HUD fuzzy, glare issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
The optical quality of the Mazda branded glass is absolute trash. Major waves looking to the right and straight ahead is like looking at distance through reading glasses. This Mazda stamped glass is so bad it's a safety issue. Additionally, there were issues getting the camera calibrated; the lane keeping basically didn't work at all after replacement and is still not 100%.
Cons: poor optical quality, major waves, calibration issues, safety concern
Vehicle:
Mazda
I am currently 1 month in waiting for my windshield from Hyundai. I had my car not 2 months when my windshield was hit on the highway by what had to be a small rock and the crack began immediately straight across to other side. It's crazy to have to wait so long for this part and it's my only means of transportation so it has been difficult. It's the backorder and waiting from Hyundai for a simple windshield that is frustrating!!
Cons: cracked immediately, long wait time, frustrating backorder
I've had many cars before my 2022 Cx-30 and this windshield has cracked/chipped 3 times in less than 1 year. All the chips happened at low speed, which I have never seen on my other cars. I'm not impressed.
Cons: cracked/chipped easily, low speed damage
Vehicle:
Mazda
Bought mines in 2022 an this is my third time replacing the windshield. I have a 2022 hundai venue.
Cons: frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I have a 14 year old camry with 4 similar chips in the last 8-10 years, still holding firmly, no cracks. Hyundai windshield doesn't seem to be as strong, saw another palisade owner come in for a rock chip repair while I waited.
Cons: not strong, prone to cracking
