I had mine replaced with non-OEM (Pilkington glass) and didn't have any recalibration done. No issues for the past 6 months and no issues with ACC, LKA, or FCA.
I have a ND RF club and when i cracked the factory glass, the glass company installed a Pilkington windshield. My butt dyno thinks the Pilkington windshield is better than the factory glass. Lasted a lot longer despite me now daily driving....
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
The Mazda 3 I purchased 6 months ago part of the purchase was replacement of the windshield. They installed a Pilkington; it has the HUD logo and no issues. Yes you need to have the camera calibrated as part of the deal.
decided to go with “aftermarket” which was a Pilkington windshield. Have had zero issues with my lane assist/collision sensors, However I assume it really depends who does your replacement install and if they calibrate the sensors properly
I've found that its more common with Pilkington than any other brand, but as another said, defects and delamination can happen with OEM parts as well.
Stay away from Pilkington the plastic cover never works on their glass.
OEM is terrible that's why they keep breaking. Ask for Pilkington and never worry about it again
Just had OEM Pilkington glass installed on our Honda and it has a mean wave towards the far right edge of the glass. Luckily it’s there and not in the middle.
I had a Pilkington windshield put on my 2008 Malibu to replace the OEM. It chipped extremely easy compared to the OEM. Even the tiniest little pebbles caused big chips in the glass. I replaced the OEM glass in 2021 due to a tree limb falling on it and shattering it. The Pilkington windshield now has several cracks along the entire windshield. Also took Safelite 4 attempts to find a windshield that wasn't wavy or scratched.
