Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM KIA
I asked the dealer to replace the windshield and they did, I was in a loaner for a week while they had the car, waiting for the windshield and installation. All the cameras and sensors work for.
Pros: cameras and sensors work
Vehicle:
Mazda
No VW experience, but did have to replace the windshield on a 2016 Mazda 6 with all of the driver aids/cameras/sensors...same as the Golf R w/ DAP. I went with a local Novus guy who had good reviews. He's an owner/operator and did a great job. My insurance paid for an OEM windshield since the car was less than 18 months old.
Pros: OEM windshield, great job
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
I’ve had my 2022 Telluride for 10 months and have replaced the windshield twice already due to the cracks that quickly turn to very long cracks stretching across my windshield. I’ve never had to replace a windshield in any of my cars prior to this car, and having gone through 3 windshields (including the original) within 10 months has been annoying.
Cons: cracks quickly, frequent replacement needed, annoying
Vehicle:
Kia
My 2023 Rio had some little chips brand new had them fix em on the spot
Cons: chips when new
Vehicle:
Kia Rio
I’m already on my second replaced windshield with a crack already in it. Kia glass is weak as shit. 2 weeks ago I barely heard a rock tink off my glass and it cracked ( I was able to get it filled before it spread) but I’ve already got another from earlier this winter.
Cons: weak glass, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Kia Sorento
Same thing happened on my 2023 Soul. Now the issue is waiting for a windshield. The 2022 is slightly different and 2023 windshields just don’t seem to exist. It’s been awhile and safelite can’t seem to get Kia to send one.
Cons: cracked easily, difficult to replace
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
I had this happen on a previous Forte I had. A rock hit the black area (where the glass is glued) and the crack went across the whole glass. When rocks hit the black area it will almost always cause this type of damage because that part of the car holds a lot of structural weight for the car (vs say the middle of the glass). The glass safelite used was the actual oem glass so it made little difference.
Cons: cracked easily, structural weakness
Vehicle:
Kia
I’m not sure if a rock hit it or what happened. I didn’t hear it or see it but I noticed the crack coming from the bottom driver side corner while driving. It has spread pretty quickly up into my line of sight and over to the passengers line of sight. I read online that there has been some issues with the glass used on the 2023 kias.
Cons: cracked quickly, spread quickly
Vehicle:
Kia
3 days for my 2019 Miata.
Cons: cracks quickly
Vehicle:
Mazda
Not even a mile from the dealer, noticed a small crack at the base of the windshield, about an inch. They filled the crack, but i do not feel comfortable with this at all. I asked about this specifically before buying, and the dealer tried to make me feel like an idiot, like this was a nonissue! Low and behold, here I am, waiting for my winshield to explode on me.
Cons: cracked on delivery, uncomfortable with repair
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 1 km
