Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda
Reviews
my insurance on my CX9 with HUD would cover only the aftermarket. I could pay the difference but was assured it would be fine.
Three windshields later they replaced it with OEM. And it was perfect.
Pros: perfect performance
Cons: aftermarket blurry HUD
Vehicle:
Mazda
I had mine replaced... took a good sized rock to the windshield on our Premium trim PHEV. (Heads up display, lane monitoring, ect.) The smashed middle of the damage made repair a no go.
I did it through Safelite and they used an OEM because there was no aftermarket available. Glass Only Repair Insurance saved us $2,000.00 out of pocket after glass, install and recalibration.
Pros: OEM available, insurance savings
Cons: rock damage, repair impossible
Vehicle:
Mazda
I had this happen on a 2021.5 Mazda CX-5. There was a very small scratch on the passenger side that resembled the wipe pattern of the wiper blade.
Cons: small scratch, wipe pattern

Had mine less than 24 hours before my first Rock chip, 2 by the end of the first week. Apparently this is a frequent occurrence with 4runners.
