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.
Tell them you want Pilkington glass put in. Pilkington is the OEM for Toyota glass.
if you have heads up display, you definitely have to get the OEM windshield. My palisade needed a windshield replacement and when it was nine OEM, I found that the heads up display was totally off and had a ghosting image at that point they replaced it with an OEM windshield.
The third one they went oem and it was perfect.
Mine has a small chip on the lower end of the windshield but that’s been it. I also live in an area where we use sand and gravel on our roads during the wintertime. My Mazda3 has gotten beat because of this, so it’s been nice to see this Palisade windshield holding up.
My wife had to have the windshield changed on her 2024 after a fairly minor rock chip spread into a substantial crack overnight. The OEM on her CR-V is Pilkington, who supplies a lot of auto glass industry-wide. Our insurance didn't allow for OEM glass, so we just made sure the glass shop used Pilkington. The aftermarket windshield hasn't cracked yet, but within a few weeks, another rock hit left a series of defects in the glass (not really chips, but very superficial nicks). Guessing Pilkington just isn't producing a particularly good product, whether it's white label for Honda/Acura or as an aftermarket supplier.
I've had 2 Pilkington windshields installed. Both have distortion at around eye level. Similar to the sensation of having a bifocal lens.
She's cracked her windshield multiple times, the glass is very thin.
Pilkington glass. I went through two windshields for no reason at all. Worst deductibles I’ve ever had to spend on.
