Windshield Tesla or OEM Mazda
Had my model 3 done through Tesla. Initial appointment was 50 days out. They contacted me a few days later and said the can do it. OEM glass installed. Excellent job. No issues.
Pros: Excellent job, no issues
I had distortion on my original windshield which may have resulted in my windshield being cracked within the first year. Hard to say. I got hit with a good sized pebble on a road trip. I replaced with OEM again no noticeable issues with this oem replacement.
Pros: no noticeable issues
Cons: distortion, cracked quickly
Vehicle:
Mazda
my insurance on my CX9 with HUD would cover only the aftermarket. I could pay the difference but was assured it would be fine.
Three windshields later they replaced it with OEM. And it was perfect.
Pros: perfect performance
Cons: aftermarket blurry HUD
Vehicle:
Mazda
I had this happen on a 2021.5 Mazda CX-5. There was a very small scratch on the passenger side that resembled the wipe pattern of the wiper blade.
Cons: small scratch, wipe pattern
Vehicle:
Mazda
I experienced the same issue on my 2021 CX-5. Two chips in a week or so of ownership. I never had windshield build quality issues with any of my previous cars.
Cons: two chips in a week
Vehicle:
Mazda
Their windshield/glass quality sucks. I had to get two replacement windshields as both had horrible distortion in the driver's field of view.
Cons: poor quality, visual distortion
2024 Mazda CX-30 windshield cracked from first Little Rock to hit it then got another small crack randomly, I believe at least these models do have a awkwardly shaped windshield that makes it noticeable weaker in comparison to most vehicles
Cons: cracked easily, awkwardly shaped, weaker
Vehicle:
Mazda
I had a CX5 that went thru 6 windshields in 2.5yr period! Luckily my insurance had glass coverage and I paid $50 per replacement but still… not fun. I had other CX5’s and they all had some sort of windshield issues, either full replacement or chip filling.
Cons: frequent replacements, windshield issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
Unfortunately the quality of the OEM glass is horrible and I had them replace it again. The replacement was just as bad so at this point I've given up on getting a windshield free of distortion.
Cons: horrible quality, distortion issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
I just came looking for this post because I cannot believe the amount of chips and cracks I'm having with this car. Just had safelight out for the 3rd time and haven't even reached a full year with this car yet.
Cons: amount of chips and cracks
Vehicle:
Mazda
