Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda

I had my old windshield replaced through my insurance. The repair shop would use a cheap replacement windshield which in turn didn't sit well on the car and even the VIN number was obscured. It was so bad I was appalled! After some back and forth, I eventually got it replaced again with an OEM one and it looks much better.
Pros: looks much better
Cons: didn't sit well, VIN obscured
I once got an after market replacement and hud was blurry and not usable. Insurance finally approved OEM.
Pros: HUD usable
Cons: HUD blurry, not usable
I got a cx 30 used 2022 this year as well and I had already claimed the chip and windshield protection within a few months of owning the car due to one chip that turned into a crack, so far with Safelite tho it's holding up now
Pros: repair holding up
Cons: chip turned into crack

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

Toyota Tundra
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
I had a CX5 that went thru 6 windshields in 2.5yr period! Luckily my insurance had glass coverage and I paid $50 per replacement but still… not fun. I had other CX5’s and they all had some sort of windshield issues, either full replacement or chip filling.
Cons: frequent replacements, windshield issues

Mazda
