I had my e90 with bmw logo changed after a crack at 186,000 miles. I pushed for the oem glass maker that was Pilkington. I made sure to have them order the correct glass, made sure it had the correct factory tint at the top and it had the correct color of tint too.
14K miles here, road-tripped across US once and commute 5 days a week about 40 minutes. No cracks or chips yet since 2023.
I had my windshield replaced recently though my insurance, they tinted it (70% ceramic) for free and installed Pilkington glass for free. Not sure what the OEM is but Pilkington is aftermarket that's as good if not better than any OEM glass, many have reported it seems stronger where you wont get chips quite as easily.
I replaced mine with an OEC. Didn't need to be recalibrated. Didn't have issues and it's been 2 years
On her 2023 that needed a replacement after the first month? No aftermarket available so it'll be the second replacement again unfortunately.
Subaru glass is terrible.
The last 2 pilkington I've used for a Toyota did not recalibrate, used pgw for both afterwards and they recalibrated instantly.
Windshield protection plan is mandatory for me and it’s probably going to be a cycle of new windshields until engineering can thicken them without compromising eyesight visibility. Between the car lot and DMV I was chipped. Any car with such camera input output capabilities seems to have weak ass windshields
My 2024 Sport is 7 months old and several chips keep appearing. My 2013 Outback never had windshield pits as bad as this one.
I noticed 3 chips in the windshield but I was leaving for a trip the next day so I just let it ride. Traveling through Kansas I guess the windshield took a rock, and a crack formed in a completely different place. The windshield does chip easily.
