Windshield OEM Toyota or Tesla
Reviews
We had Tesla do it on our Y and it went well.
Pros: went well
I replaced a windshield in my 2023 Camry this year and it was $800. The Toyota dealerships near me do not replace windshields and told me to go with a local windshield replacement business. The business brought my car to the Toyota dealership after installing the new windshield to have everything calibrated.
Pros: everything calibrated
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
If you have the rain-sensing wipers, you will need OEM toyota glass because the rain sensor depends on the optical characteristics of the windscreen. My local Safelite assured me their glass would work, but it didn't (the wipers would run on random but frequent intervals), so they put in a second third-party windscreen, and it didn't work either. So I had them put in a third windscreen (they went with OEM), and everything was fine after that. OEM is an extra-cost option on the first install but it costs 40% more.
Pros: rain sensor works, correct optical characteristics
Cons: extra cost, 40% more expensive
Vehicle:
Toyota
Got a rock chip 13 days into my MYLR7 ownership which developed into a 20" crack right across the driver's side. Had it replaced next day at the Service Center for my $100 deductible. Great deal I thought... Until I picked up the car and heard wind noise throughout the driver's side. They had to put in another windshield.
Pros: quick replacement, great deal
Cons: wind noise, second replacement

Cons: windshield replaced
Mileage: 70000 km

I have never in my life gotten a chip or crack in my windshield. I’ve had my model Y for 10 days and I have TWO chips!! What the heck?? It’s a used 2021 and it’s not covered under warranty apparently
Cons: two chips in 10 days

Cons: poor quality, prone to chips, prone to cracking

Cons: cheap glass, prone to cracking
