Windshield Tesla or OEM KIA
I got a brand new windshield on my M3 for $100. My insurance took care of the rest. I went through Tesla because I didn’t want to be dealing with this same exact BS that they are trying to run on you.
Pros: new windshield for $100
Cons: had to wait 3 weeks
Model3 in San Diego. Got it replaced and calibrated by Tesla service for $943.
They have to use Tesla OEM so it’s going to be a bit.
I had this happen on a previous Forte I had. A rock hit the black area (where the glass is glued) and the crack went across the whole glass. When rocks hit the black area it will almost always cause this type of damage because that part of the car holds a lot of structural weight for the car (vs say the middle of the glass). The glass safelite used was the actual oem glass so it made little difference.
Cons: cracked easily, structural weakness
Vehicle:
Kia
I’m not sure if a rock hit it or what happened. I didn’t hear it or see it but I noticed the crack coming from the bottom driver side corner while driving. It has spread pretty quickly up into my line of sight and over to the passengers line of sight. I read online that there has been some issues with the glass used on the 2023 kias.
Cons: cracked quickly, spread quickly
Vehicle:
Kia
Mine was less than 4 months old when it developed a craxk starting at the bottom and worked its way up. Not sure why tesla windshields are so easy to crack.
Cons: easy to crack, developed crack
The Glass on Tesla vehicles is INSANELY prone to chips and cracks. I’m on my third windshield MYLR
Cons: prone to chips, prone to cracks
First winter with my Model Y and I have had 2. Luckily repaired both immediately however, one circular chip repair didn’t take very well visually, but told it will hold. My personal anecdotal experience is leading me to believe that all windshields from various car manufacturers are not the same :(
Cons: prone to chips, repair didn't take well visually
Not even a mile from the dealer, noticed a small crack at the base of the windshield, about an inch. They filled the crack, but i do not feel comfortable with this at all. I asked about this specifically before buying, and the dealer tried to make me feel like an idiot, like this was a nonissue! Low and behold, here I am, waiting for my winshield to explode on me.
Cons: cracked on delivery, uncomfortable with repair
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 1 km
A tiny pebble hit the windshield going less than 40 mph on a small road in Montana, cracked the windshield about 8 inches.! The crack spread another 4-5 inches. Was pissed the windshield cracked. Didn't even have 6k miles on the car. Kia supposedly fixed the eggshell windshield problems, but they haven't. The resin on the telluride windshield has finally given up and a new crack has spread out from this initial crack and traveled about 12 inches out from the other crack. Don't even want another factory Kia windshield, want something stronger.!
Cons: cracked easily, poor durability, cracks spread quickly
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 6000 km
