Autoglass replaced my windshield with original VW one. Great service.
I had a similar issue, also with my vw golf GTI. Insurance also covered the repair with auto glass. They used OEM and the experience was very good.
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
My 2002 Toyota is perfectly unharmed...
I was in a similar situation 2 years ago, except it was a 2012 accord n was looking at a 2023 4runner. Biggest difference i felt in the negative side was fuel economy and throttle response. Neither are something you should expect from 4runner, and I knew that going in but driving them back to back or alternating every other day, u feel it a lot. As far as throttle response, after driving for a while I realized while it's not a k series engine n can't go like it can but its plenty powerful and it can be responsive if ur in the right gear n right rpm. windshield is a chip magnet but so is my accord. I do like the near vertical windshield, though. I feel it blocks the sun better during the day.
I've had several over the years, mostly fine, some proportion variations here and there or where the black fading around the edges is and how thick it is etc, but largely okay. I'd say the biggest thing I notice is the appearance of those Little sparkly rock chips becomes easier to develop on the aftermarket glass.
Front and rear windows kept fogging up to the point where I had to wipe the windshield with my hand just to see where I was going. Electronics were less than worthless, kept disconnecting phone from car audio
I have the original Toyota windsheild and it's wavy as hell. Gives me the jumpy tummy. So OEM is not always best.
I’ve cracked two windscreens on a 2023 79 series Land Cruiser in 15,000 km of driving.
I’ve got like 4 or 5 cracks, looks like I’ve been in a war zone. Every time I think about replacing it, another rock hits the windshield
