Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM KIA
I had my ND windshield replaced back in 2019 and they brought a genuine Mazda replacement. Not sure why, as the installer said it was unusual to use OEM. It is an involved process due to all the sensor reconfiguration required. I am not aware of an improved windshield replacement, but FWIW my replacement has been fine since 2019.
Pros: fine since 2019

Best $250 I ever spent on my NA Miata bought in Nevada was a new windshield; makes the convertible experience so much better. Otherwise you can see perfectly in every direction except the one you’re headed toward! Highly recommend.
Pros: better convertible experience

I will say my chilliest experience last January in the mountains of CO at night tested the defrosting ability of the windshield. I wish it had some extra heater wires because we had to rely on the heated air which made for a very toasty experience inside the car.
Cons: slow defrosting

My CX50 windshield cracked in June, started out a few inches at the top of my windshield but past the point of fixing. In those few months it completely spread to the bottom of the windshield.
Cons: crack spread quickly, past fixing

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.
