Pilkington, the brand that makes Honda oem glass, was around $570 installed. It’s noticeably thicker than the oem R glass, which may be heavier and affect track time? But the quality is good. No distortion either.
Last glass we replaced with a Pilkington. It’s lasted twice as long (so far) as all the other windshields combined. It’s had a couple of similar ‘minor’ stone chips as what did in the OEMs. It’s still going strong.
Some Outback owners are already on their 3rd or 4th windshield in 2 years. So far the only solution is to demand a non OEM third party window replacement. Owners who can convince the insurance to use Pilkington glass for a replacement are having far less issues.
The 1st time with Audi glass had zero issues..
My SQ5 windshield has been stronger than any other car I've owned. It got hit with a rock so hard at 75MPH that I slammed on brakes and went to the side of the road because it was that loud. I was sure it smashed or was about to crack really bad. There was some powder on it from hitting it and I was extremely disappointed because it was right in my view. Residue washed right off and now I cant even see it. Literally blew my mind. I have acoustic glass in my car (prestige) but I'm not sure if the front windshield has it.
My windshield cracked the first time after 255.000 of highway only Kilometers
My old S3 ('09) and my A6 ('11) have really solid windscreens compared to my previous (non-Audi) vehicles.
I have had pilkington glass before and they are a decent piece of glass, but not nearly as strong a Sekurit.
I would rather buy the original BMW/Pilkington windshield from the junkyard and get it installed than get one replacement Chinese sh*t from insurance coverage. Replacements are not as thick, they are wavy and yep in general - crap.
Audi windshield quality SUCKS. Mine had black spots on it that drove me nuts.
