I did new glass in my wife's new CR-V at 6 months old, and I did aftermarket Pilkington glass in my 2-year-old Pilot. No issues to report.
Aftermarket glass is much more robust. My family is on our 8th Subaru and we've never replaced a Pilkington aftermarket windshield.
Definitely get aftermarket windshield. Pilkington is the one you're looking for, they're much stronger than OEM glass and eyesight works perfectly
I had my windshield replaced about 2 years ago by Safelite with Pilkington glass. They calibrated the EyeSight cameras, zero problems since then
If you have Pilkington, yes they did you a favor. Original one broke and they replaced it with a good one that is much more durable.
Mine wasn't cracked, but had a lot of tiny pocks in it. He had a new Pilkington and installed it for $185. Sorry you missed out on the good pricing.
Had the windshield of my 24 replaced because of a crack, they calibrated it and then had to come out and recalibrate it because it wouldn\u2019t;t registered on the left until I was well in to the oncoming lane. It may self calibrate, but probably poorly.
My wife got a 2019 Rav4. Needed windshield replaced within first month
Camry 2025, a week in, and I got a small chip in front of me. never had that issue before
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.
