windshield brands
 
I am about to replace my AP1 windshield and prefer a Pilkington one. But they only found an AP tech one which is made in USA (per the sticker said).

Anyone has suggestions on AP tech glass? I found another thread saying to avoid AP tech glass :

Does it matter where the pilkington is made?

My 1-year old PGW is starting to display the same millions-of-tiny-chips annoyance that my OEM glass took over a decade to develop. Not thrilled with it.

I am a former Safelite warehouse employee. All aftermarket glass is the same (Fuyao, SGC, PGW, Pilkington, APTech). The funny thing is, these companies manufacturer OEM glass as well. The only difference from OEM would be Honda printed on the windshield, quality control (distortion, scratches, sometimes they have a bad bend, cut, or lamination), and the packaging they're shipped in (wrapped up in plastic with foam covering the edges whereas aftermarket is just glass in a crate). I recommend you to take a good look at the glass before they prep it for installation. If there's nothing wrong with the aftermarket, they're just as good as OEM glass.
