Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Volvo
Reviews
My 2020 Prime windshield broke. Aftermarket glass was used, and my auto wipers didn't work. A Toyota dealer tech determined the bracket for the sensing gel pack was not positioned correctly and said OEM glass was necessary. After getting OEM glass, it now works correctly.
Pros: auto wipers work correctly, correct bracket fitment
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
I have a 2007 V70 with the 2.5 but went FWD when looking at these cause I figured it would be less of a headache than the AWD models. Had mine for about 16 months, bought at 66k, with 71k on it now, no issues.
Pros: Comfort, hauling capacity
Cons: Gas mileage, turning radius
Vehicle:
Volvo V70
Mileage: 71000 km
3 windshields the first 2 years of my Volvo xc90, then none the next 3
Pros: none the next 3
Cons: 3 windshields the first 2
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
The glass on the SPA and CMA chips and cracks easily. I'm extremely cautious with my shield. I just hit 60k and so far have one chip that I filled immediately. I know many people that do two shields a year.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Volvo
Mileage: 60000 km
Within the first 2 weeks of receiving my car, while driving on the highway, I heard a pop noise on my windshield. A few hours later, A small hairline crack developed from the edge of my windsheild, and has since extended halfway across my windshield.
Cons: pop noise, hairline crack, crack extended
Vehicle:

I once had a 1988 Toyota Pickup that had existed for 32 years with its original windshield, and within six months I caught two separate rocks to it. Very frustrating
Cons: cracks easily, frustrating
Vehicle:
Toyota
Huge crack in the windshield of our '22 Highlander with less than 10,000 miles. No signs of impact or chips. Just a crack originating at the bottom edge and spreading higher day by day.
Pros: no signs of impact
Cons: crack spreading day by day

I purchased a 2020 Toyota Prius Prime. That October the windshield cracked in half. Just weeks after total windshield replacement, the windshield cracked in half again. Now almost a year later...our windshield is once again cracked in half. Multiple claims for this matter seems to point to a flaw with the car. I own two older Toyota Prius cars and have never needed to replace their windshields but this Prime is somethin’ else. The Toyota rep claims nothing is wrong with the car and they won’t help repair. This will Be the 3rd claim in 16 months of owning the car.
Cons: cracks repeatedly, poor durability
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Earlier today I went under an overpass that was dripping melting snow. A few seconds later, water began streaking down the INSIDE of my windshield. It was entering pretty much dead center of the glass, where the rearview mirror is. It was also entering over on the passenger side (right side, American car). I've looked online and seen that this isn't an uncommon issue with Volvo glass it looks like.
Cons: water streaking inside windshield, uncommon issue with glass
