Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda
Reviews
Late to the conversation, but I'll say windshields I've owned that say "Toyota" or "Lexus" have lasted years, but windshields that said FUYAO or Pilkington cracked within a few months.
Pros: Toyota/Lexus windshields last years
Cons: FUYAO/Pilkington cracked quickly
Vehicle:
Lexus IS
My 2020 Prime windshield broke. Aftermarket glass was used, and my auto wipers didn't work. A Toyota dealer tech determined the bracket for the sensing gel pack was not positioned correctly and said OEM glass was necessary. After getting OEM glass, it now works correctly.
Pros: auto wipers work correctly, correct bracket fitment
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
I'm on my 3rd on my 2019 Mazda6.
Cons: multiple replacements
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
I have a 2018 cx-5 and got a chip in my windshield after about a year. Just last week, I noticed yet another chip in the windshield. Frustrating to say the least.
Cons: multiple chips, frustrating
Vehicle:
Mazda
In the first three months after buying my Mazda 3 I got 3 rock chips. Replaced the windshield, got another rock chip a week later.
Cons: multiple chips, chipped after replacement
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
At least for NA the newer generation mazdas 2019+, which have an edgeless design are more prone then any previous generation to crack or spiderweb. I see it all the time on the Mazda 3, cx-5 and cx-30. My girlfriend's windshield cracked after sitting in the garage over a weekend. The new premium look is nice but the build issues.
Pros: nice premium look
Cons: prone to crack, build issues
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
Vehicle:
Mazda
'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
