Also pay extra for OE glass, the quality difference is crazy even between two pieces of Pilkington glass. They make both factory and after market glass.
I had my e90 with bmw logo changed after a crack at 186,000 miles. I pushed for the oem glass maker that was Pilkington. I made sure to have them order the correct glass, made sure it had the correct factory tint at the top and it had the correct color of tint too.
I had my windshield replaced recently though my insurance, they tinted it (70% ceramic) for free and installed Pilkington glass for free. Not sure what the OEM is but Pilkington is aftermarket that's as good if not better than any OEM glass, many have reported it seems stronger where you wont get chips quite as easily.
Living on dirt roads with many rocks thrown and no issues yet!
I replaced mine with an OEC. Didn't need to be recalibrated. Didn't have issues and it's been 2 years
when you do need a replacement, get it replaced with Pilkington brand. It's far superior to OEM (usually Carlex)
after 10+ years its full of scratches and small dents. Around 600EUR for Pilkington OEM.
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.
Toyota OEM glass sucks - I had a 4Runner whose windshield would crack if you looked at it wrong, and my Tacoma didn't even make it 6 months before the windshield cracked. Dad's Highlander cracked within 6 months as well.
I’ve just got a 25 platinum, had it just over a month and have both a chip and crack. I’ve never owned a vehicle that had this happen let alone this quickly.
