They replaced with Pilkington glass and calibrated eyesight.
The glass we’re on now is a Pilkington, replaced and calibrated at a shop closer to home. This glass has lasted 3x longer than the others combined and recently took a strike from a nickel-sized rock :)

Pilkington is waaaaay superior to whatever OEM supplier they use. Porsche, Land Rover, and many other luxury brands use Pilkington for their glass, and it holds up very well! My Cayenne's windshield is absolutely battered, and it's still on its original glass from 2012.
2015 and got a plinkton front windshield after oem cracked within a year, in all these years it’s taken quite a few rocks with no damage at all, I’m quite happy with it.
You are totally good with Pilkington glass though I had Safelite replace my old Jetta with that brand and it’s as good if not better than OEM glass.
After our OEM windshield was demolished, it was replaced with Pilkington auto glass. And that Pilkington glass is FAR superior to OEM Subaru glass!
They used a Pilkington, and the HUD is blurry- just like my FIRST FACTORY FITTED CARLEX- NO BETTER NO WORSE), no BMW logo, no connected drive inscribed on the glass on the top. But it is an acoustic glass with HUD compatbility- Optics wise no difference, Noise levels about the same, Lane tracking etc works the same as before this incident. No leaks.
I just installed a Pilkington glass yesterday on a 2025 Camry. Distortion on the passenger side just as you described. Couldn’t tell until I was driving it for the dynamic.
Has anyone noticed anything about the quality of pilk glass did a 2020 Honda odyssey that had 2 replacements done on it within 2 weeks originally had a pilk part in it with distortion on the passenger side top so bad that it threw the camera off so much it wouldn’t pass a static recalibration, threw oem in it and no issues on static or dynamic.
