I had mine replaced... took a good sized rock to the windshield on our Premium trim PHEV. (Heads up display, lane monitoring, ect.) The smashed middle of the damage made repair a no go.
I did it through Safelite and they used an OEM because there was no aftermarket available. Glass Only Repair Insurance saved us $2,000.00 out of pocket after glass, install and recalibration.
My 2016 has NEVER cracked nor chipped...
I had some stuff done, added a couple of things, and washed my 2010 MK6 Golf TDI (manual) with 205K miles. New windshield - OEM VW from Safelite - replaced severely pitted original windshield after 200K+ miles It feels very good driving my clean car with the new bits!
Got a chip in the second week after I bought my 2023 CX5. It was so frustrating, I was passing a slow truck and it had just rained and there was some gravel on the road. The rock was huge though, so I think that was the major issue. I have had small rocks hit the windshield but they did not have any impact.
We've owned several Mazdas for the last 10-15 years. We had one windshield crack after being hit by a rock from a passing truck. After years of use, we've had no issues with cracked windshields.
I also had to replace mine after 1 year due to major cracks.
My windshield was cracked in multiple places within one year.
I got my CX50 in January and in June it cracked. I'm assuming these windshields are on the weaker side.
Cost like 800$ for the OEM windshield for me, I’d go after market if it happened again. I don’t even know why mine cracked there was no evidence of a rock chip.
I got a chip 2 months into owning my 25 TPP.
