We love our 24 badlands in eruption green with a black top. It’s been awesome. We got 36,100km on it now. Have had to get an alignment, 1 new windshield, and a new grill because the clip that holds the front camera had broken and a piece fell out. But it’s still awesome.
I had my windshield replaced about 6 months ago with safelite and I did it all through the geico app. They used Pilkington glass which while not oem is great quality.
Pilkington makes the OEM windshields for Alfa but they are readily available and a fraction of the price.
If you ever need to replace a windshield, spend the extra money and get a ford windshield.
Your (and my) Range Rover windshield is manufactured by Pilkington. Your glass installer can buy the exact same glass direct from Pilkington for less than half the price. The only difference is that Pilkinton will etch off the Range Rover tag in the corner and put their own name on.
Safelite can do replacement. LR shop referred me to them. Pilkington, Optikal, Laminated… This is what LR said was OEM or equivalent. Was $1,200 with heating elements. This cracked recently after 7 years.
Ford came out today and told me this is normal in every car. I let them know I never had this issue in my Audi.
I did and had issues with Pilot Assist and Lane Keeping. I had to get the ADAS systems recalibrated.
I bought my truck with a few thousand miles on it and someone had replaced the windshield with a Pilkington brand. It had a terrible flaw in the laminate in front of the HUD. It looked terrible.
my ford dealership could not find a chip on the glass. can confirm it was due to the windshield defect - stress crack, they called it (but Ford Canada refuse to see it as a defect i.e. not enough data). my experience with other cars did not have this issue, such as lexus, audi, pontiac, bmw, hyundai etc. others have also reported similar problems with Ford's windshields.
