When it comes to windshield glass, some brands may be different, but this doesn't necessarily make a difference. If you have an older vehicle, such as a collector's car, it is important to use OEM parts to preserve the originality of the vehicle. When it comes to replacing a cracked windshield, you have two options: OEM and aftermarket glass. But which one is best for you?Aftermarket glass is manufactured by companies that work directly with car manufacturers.
If a glass manufacturer receives an order for 25,000 windshields for a particular vehicle, they may decide to use an additional 5,000 windshields (if allowed to do so under their agreement with the car manufacturer). This is because they know that they can sell these extras to replace them. They can help you make the best decision for your vehicle because, for some vehicles, an aftermarket windshield will work well, while other vehicle manufacturers recommend using only OEM windshields. The windshield plays an important role in the structural integrity of the vehicle, especially in the event of a rollover. Therefore, it is important to choose the right type of glass for your vehicle.
It has been noted that the reflection of the dashboard against the windshield is worse with aftermarket glass than with OEM glass. For example, two months ago I changed my windshield to SAFeL*** and today a small rock, which barely made any noise, left a 12-degree crack in the windshield. If you need more information on windshield maintenance and which type of glass is best for your vehicle, you can contact your nearest windshield maintenance agency.
