Reviews
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
I have a 19 and have driven 30,000 so far, mostly highway. I’ve had pebbles hit the windows a few times, leaving a small crack once. Smaller than a dime. It’s been at least 6 months and it hasn’t grown at all.
Pros: crack didn't grow
Cons: small crack from pebbles
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 30000 km
Replaced the windshield on my 2023 CX-50 within the first 6 months. I've never had to replace a windshield on any of my previous Mazdas.
Cons: needed early replacement
Vehicle:
Mazda
We didn’t get any cracks in the few years we had a CX-30 but it’s definitely on the softer side as far as hardness goes. There were so many small nicks like any and all debris would sandblast it.
Pros: no cracks
Cons: soft, many small nicks

'22 CX-30. Got a chip in my windshield about 3 months after buying it. I do a lot of highway driving and try to avoid driving behind big trucks that kick up a lot of debris but sometimes its unavoidable.
Cons: chipped easily
Vehicle:
Mazda
I never scratched a windshield in my life until my 2024 Mazda. In the first month! The squeegee put an 8” scratch right in my line of sight. It drives me crazy.
Cons: scratched easily, scratch in line of sight
Vehicle:
Mazda
My 2020 CX-5 cracked windshield twice since last year. It's probably the original Mazda branded windshield that is an issue. I drive normal within city, so not much freeway driving at all
Cons: cracked easily, cracked twice
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’ve had plenty of visible scratches appear over the 4 years I had my 2019 cx3. And I don’t mean small surface ones only, some were noticeable when touching them with my nail, and I had so many of those that it was actually becoming a problem, towards the end before I recently sold it, because it would cause sun glare and catch me off guard while driving sometimes. Only car I’ve had that had it that bad.
Cons: scratches easily, sun glare issue
Vehicle:
Mazda
I bought a 23 CX-30 in June and already have two chips in my windshield, both from seemingly small rocks. I do a lot of interstate driving and have driven Ford, Toyota, VW, and Honda previously and none of them seemed to chip as easily. I feel like anything that touches my windshield damages it and it makes me not want to drive. In my old cars, I was often shocked that they didn’t get damaged. I hate seeing the chips and even with repairs, they’re visible.
Cons: chips easily, visible repairs
Vehicle:
Mazda
Don't get the OEM glass. That shit is brittle. I made the mistake of going OEM last year and barely made it 7 months before it needed to be replaced again. I'm almost certain the OEM glass would have cracked.
Cons: brittle, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
