I recommend going with the OEM glass (which is Pilkington). There have been a number of complaints with aftermarket glass being "softer" and more suspectable to cracks/chips compared to the OEM glass.
I ended up with pilkington and the quality has been fantastic.
Had mine replaced at the end of last year with a new Pilkington unit. The mirror sensor was unclipped and the clipped onto the new one - no issues. Like others have said, the cheap OEM version on my old 2018 was soft and pitted/stained easily. Worth the upgrade!
Pilkington is an OEM supplier so I wouldn\u2019t be too worried; my old Volvo had a factory Pilkington windshield.
I have an 18. I've had my windshield replaced. Replacement glass from Pilkington, made at same factory as the original VW glass. Was around $300-400 installed. No camera calibration required.
Since the last time I posted, Anthony installed the Pilkington FW4119 glass on my car. He was right--it was completely free of any distortions, haziness, or warps.

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.
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.
Pilkington, worn out in 2 years to matt surface spots, 1 set of Bosch wipers, rarely used (3-5 times a year).
