Same thing happened to me and ended up with the Pilkington glass. Actually like it more than the OEM since there's less visual distortion.
Does your local shop carry Pilkington? That’s a good OE brand that Audi used throughout the years, I think. Pilkington is a supplier for Mercedes too. I’ve had them in my cars and haven’t had any issues.
Pilkington is usually made better in my opinion. Any manufacturer can have issues including OEM. For my vehicles I use Pilkington, its the closest to OEM.
Pilkington is my favorite but they’ll all work, just looks nicer/ more hydrophobic at first
The glass installed was Pilkington. Pilkington is the OEM glass for my three Mercedes and Ferrari. Look at your windshield. The manufacturer is on it. That is what you want. Next time I got a chip, I called Safelite and asked if they could get me Pilkington glass. They said yes, showed up and replaced it. Happened a third time, and Safelite did it a third time.
I had my oem Saint Gobain Sekurit glass replaced with Pilkington glass since insurance didn't want to pay for the OEM. Never had any issues with HUD visibility; however, the replacement was done by the BMW dealer.
Pilkington has been slacking lately. They usually are great
Had mine less than 24 hours before my first Rock chip, 2 by the end of the first week. Apparently this is a frequent occurrence with 4runners.
I just had my 7th windshield put in last month on my 2019.
I have never had replace a windshield in any my 8 other cars in my 21 years of driving, and my last car was even a wrangler. I have had 4 cracks in my 4R, replaced it twice, and is currently cracked again, in 3 years!! I love this car but Toyota effed up on the windshields.
