Windshield Tesla or OEM Volvo
First highway trip on my 2018 XC60, got a chip on the windshield. Replaced by the dealer with $500 deductible.
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
My 2015.5 V60, I replaced my windshield several times. The shop wouldn't let me get a 3rd party glass, only a Volvo branded windshield. The shop even disputed with the insurance when they wanted to use 3rd party glass due to the safety features.
Pros: Volvo branded windshield
Cons: no 3rd party glass
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
I have had two XC90 windshields replaced. Did both at the dealer because of the equipment mounted behind the glass - after replacement they took care of whatever reset codes and calibration were needed.
Pros: reset codes and calibration
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
Went to the dealer got oem glass and it almost looks like factory even the little plastic clip is there. The only thing that's wrong is that they covered the vin with some glue. If they fixed it like they should I'm really happy cause other places might not fit original glass. Already talked with the dealer so I guess there will be no problems fixing that flaw.
Pros: looks like factory, plastic clip present
Cons: VIN covered with glue
The 1k non-tesla one - earns the 1k value... glass is not as clear, but manageable for a 1k difference. BUT next time I have to replace... I am thinking to get the OEM.
Pros: manageable for difference
Cons: glass is not clear
Windshield is insanely expensive and seems to crack/chip pretty easy
Cons: expensive, cracks easily, chips easily
my M3 I had prior the windshield got cracked three separate times
Cons: cracked multiple times, poor durability
their engineering quality threshold for windshields is dismal and below that of every other car maker. It’s actually embarrassing how bad it is.
Cons: dismal quality, below industry standard, embarrassing quality
I had my M3 windshield crack from freeway rocks 4 months after I bought the car.
Cons: cracked quickly, poor durability
They cheaped out on the windshield, guaranteed.
Cons: poor quality, cheap material
