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 : https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/896...shield-brands/ |

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.

I've always had good luck with Safelite (highly dependent on the tech that arrives though), and I have had bad glass. I had an OEM windshield replaced for a vehicle with some aftermarket brand, and it had a horizontal "warp" in it that was right at eye level, so I had Safelite come back out to replace it. With no issues, they came back out with two pieces, OEM and the brand, and we looked at both pieces. The aftermarket had the same warp going across it, and the tech explained that it was probably from a bad lot, so we went with the OEM glass.
The only differences (beside the lack of warp) was the printing on the glass and the surround rubber, which was thinner on the OEM piece. |
