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.
I had my e90 with bmw logo changed after a crack at 186,000 miles. I pushed for the oem glass maker that was Pilkington. I made sure to have them order the correct glass, made sure it had the correct factory tint at the top and it had the correct color of tint too.
I had one 2021 S60 until last month, great for travel, very comfortable, lots of space for two kids.
Only issue was the windshield, change 3 , one for year, talk to the mechanic and said it’s ok, I think the quality of the parts is not what it was.
All my glass I get from Pilk is always scratched to shit
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.
