Aftermarket glass is much more robust. My family is on our 8th Subaru and we've never replaced a Pilkington aftermarket windshield.
Definitely get aftermarket windshield. Pilkington is the one you're looking for, they're much stronger than OEM glass and eyesight works perfectly
I had my windshield replaced about 2 years ago by Safelite with Pilkington glass. They calibrated the EyeSight cameras, zero problems since then
If you have Pilkington, yes they did you a favor. Original one broke and they replaced it with a good one that is much more durable.
Mine wasn't cracked, but had a lot of tiny pocks in it. He had a new Pilkington and installed it for $185. Sorry you missed out on the good pricing.
Also pay extra for OE glass, the quality difference is crazy even between two pieces of Pilkington glass. They make both factory and after market glass.
Heb me laten overhalen om een ruit van Pilkington te laten installeren op mijn Golf uit 2020. Lijkt er opzich prima in te zitten en de camera is gekalibreerd en lijkt prima te werken. Ik zag echter dat er iets van lucht achter de ruit, voor de (regen?)sensor zit.
We went on a trip in the new car and everyone felt that the heat rejection from the windshield isn't impressive or nearly as good as the Baleno. The Baleno, in my experience, cuts out 90%+ of the heat from direct sunlight falling on your body and the Seltos is at maybe 30%.
I had a Sportage 2023 and kia for the first time and had to replace windshield twice in the one year I Had the car. I drive benz and I get rocks and hit on the glass and never had I ever replaced a windshield on them. I agree these kia windshields are weaker
Same thing happened with my forte
