Windshield Tesla or OEM Audi
Since bunch of sensors in the mirror mount don’t go with SafeLite insurance bootleg glass. Get an OEM glass.
Pros: OEM glass recommended
Cons: Safelite aftermarket not recommended, sensor issues
I literally just went to safelite through my insurance company last Thursday to get my windshield fixed on my A5 and I just paid my deductible and it was replaced with an OEM windshield. Easy peasy.
Pros: OEM windshield installed, easy process
Vehicle:
Audi A5
With HUD it’s always better to get OEM glass so you don’t deal with distortion of the image.
Pros: no image distortion, better with HUD
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
I got OEM glass and my dealership told me to go to Safelite. I paid my glass deductible only. All my recalibrations are holding up for 2+ years.
Pros: recalibrations holding up, long-term reliability
Just had safelite do mine and I don’t recall the brand on the glass but it’s not Tesla. Looks fine to me no issues. Actually the previous windshield was replace by Tesla and the glass quality was not good. I almost took it back to them. Had small waves in it that produced a distortion at certain viewing angles. Then it cracked. It also had a lot of small chips in it way more than other vehicles in the past so maybe this new brand will be better
Pros: no issues
Cons: glass quality was not good
the juniper model y has a flawed windshield imo, been through 3 in 3 months.
Cons: flawed, frequent cracking
Between our model y and model 3, my wife and I replaced the windshields 6 times. Always a chip off the highway regardless of how much space we leave between us and the vehicles in front. It’s been a nightmare. The fact they are offering this now telling me that they know their windshield designs is flawed and this happens a lot despite being told otherwise by the service centers.
Cons: frequent chipping, flawed design, nightmare experience
Cost me $2000+ for Audi Original. And i wont recommend OEM.
Cons: expensive, not recommended
Ive replaced 2 of these in the last 3 months on my RS3. OEM glass at the dealership both times.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement needed
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
Audi must have an issue with their windshield. Am on my second crack in 3 months.
Cons: prone to cracking, poor durability
Vehicle:
Audi
