Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Audi
Reviews
The windshield on our 21 Q5e cracked from a stone chip. Took it to Safelite down the road from our house. Insurance covered 100% and that included calibration. Everything works as it should--that was 6 months or so ago. Used oem glass.
Pros: everything works as should
Vehicle:
Audi
You may not actually need the recalibration… if you have a heads up display, that’s probably different but otherwise it may not be necessary at all. Went through this with my 21 RAV, lots of places tell me, I would need to take it to the dealer for calibration after the new glass. The place I went to said to try it out first and then decide if you need it because a lot of times through replacement does not affect anything. so I got the new glass and drove off, no issues no need for recalibration. The windshield cracked and a construction zone about six months after I got the car. It’s been a couple years and about 80,000 miles since then. No complaints or problems with any of the sensing pack, works like the day I brought it home
Pros: no issues, works perfectly
Cons: recalibration may be unnecessary

At first they put a non-OEM windshield, couldnt calibrate the camera behind the review mirror, went back a week later and got OEM. No issues for me.
Pros: No issues
When I bought my S6, the previous owner had replaced the windhsield at some point. Well, adaptive cruise active lane keep, and audi brake guard was non functioning. Audi replaced the windshield for one that supportd the camera and I was told it was pretty damn expensive
Pros: supports the camera
Cons: pretty damn expensive
Vehicle:
Audi S6
Camry 2025, a week in, and I got a small chip in front of me. never had that issue before
Cons: small chip, unexpected issue
Vehicle:

Owned 3 weeks, getting replaced Wednesday. I was parked in my garage for a week while I was out of town… came back to a crack (no kids, no pets, nothing from ceiling). Crack almost dead center starting from bottom, no chips or impact marks. Drove to windshield repair place 5 miles away, it had grown. The said it could still be fixed and couldn’t find any impact marks. Made appt for next day, by then crack had tripled in dive just sitting in the garage. Now being replaced with non-OEM glass since OEM glass sucks.
Cons: cracked without impact, crack grew rapidly, poor OEM quality

21 venza, i had it about a year, rock hit that spiderwebbed out. cost me about $1600 to replace (skipped insurance). Toyota had to special order it and claimed all the sensors need to be "recalibrated".
about 6 months later new crack, it's small but right smack dab in drivers line of site. It's smallish and hasn't grown so I've sucked it up and have lived with it for now.
If it's growing, i would suck up the replacement, the glass is shit and seems pretty common problem.
Cons: poor durability, prone to cracking
Vehicle:
Toyota Venza
Toyota OEM glass sucks - I had a 4Runner whose windshield would crack if you looked at it wrong, and my Tacoma didn't even make it 6 months before the windshield cracked. Dad's Highlander cracked within 6 months as well.
Cons: prone to cracking, low durability, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
I’ve just got a 25 platinum, had it just over a month and have both a chip and crack. I’ve never owned a vehicle that had this happen let alone this quickly.
Cons: chipped and cracked quickly, poor durability
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
