Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Subaru
Reviews
I replaced a windshield in my 2023 Camry this year and it was $800. The Toyota dealerships near me do not replace windshields and told me to go with a local windshield replacement business. The business brought my car to the Toyota dealership after installing the new windshield to have everything calibrated.
Pros: everything calibrated
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
If you have the rain-sensing wipers, you will need OEM toyota glass because the rain sensor depends on the optical characteristics of the windscreen. My local Safelite assured me their glass would work, but it didn't (the wipers would run on random but frequent intervals), so they put in a second third-party windscreen, and it didn't work either. So I had them put in a third windscreen (they went with OEM), and everything was fine after that. OEM is an extra-cost option on the first install but it costs 40% more.
Pros: rain sensor works, correct optical characteristics
Cons: extra cost, 40% more expensive
