Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda
Reviews
We also got a crack on our windshield while traveling on a highway. Fortunately it was smaller than the size of a 10rs coin so i used the resin kit and fixed it
Pros: resin kit fixed it
Cons: crack on windshield
Vehicle:
Toyota
I just had the windshield replaced on my CX-50 a two of weeks ago. A local shop handled the install but ordered the glass directly from Mazda. My family’s had bad experiences with aftermarket glass in the past, so that pushed me toward OEM; especially since my car’s less than a year old.
If you’re paying out of pocket, aftermarket could still be the more practical option. I went through my insurance, so it was fully covered, but the total bill came to about $1,700 and the glass took nearly four months to arrive.
Pros: Preferred OEM quality
Cons: Long delivery time
Vehicle:
Mazda
The new windshield has the Mazda logo and the HUD seems just as I remember it without any ripple. Unfortunately I noticed some damage to the rain sensor, so am working with the dealership again to get that replaced. Luckily the windshield does not have to come off for that.
Pros: HUD without ripple, Mazda logo
Cons: damage to rain sensor

Mazda
Example: windshields have to be lighter, so they are thinner. Any little rock will destroy one of our Mazdas windshield.
Cons: thinner, easily destroyed

I had a scratch on the windshield a few weeks in, then realized I’d have the same issue as I did in my previous Mazda: poor glass quality that scratches even with the windshield wipers.
Cons: poor glass quality, scratches easily
Vehicle:
Mazda

Had a CX-5 and now a CX-50. It's pretty much a new windshield per year. They crack and chip on every hit.
Cons: cracks and chips easily, new windshield per year

I’m on my second windshield with a CX-50 as well. I think the factory windshield just may not be that great.
Cons: factory windshield not great

I've owned this vehicle a little over 3 months. This will be the second time I'm replacing it... yeah, I'd say this windshield is weak..
Cons: weak windshield, multiple replacements
