What to do about windshield replacement - 08/16/21 05:53 PM
What's everyone using for windshields? From what I've read, AMD, ECS, and Pilkington are fine for quality and thickness. Anything else is too thin.

Pilkington, the others I have seen are wavy

My car has a pilkington. Seems ok but I just got it so haven’t had time to notice if it’s thin.

Thin is lighter
Doesn't seal properly
and doesn't fit well against the stainless trim

Call around to your old glass shops and see if they have a PPG collecting dust.

Over decades in the collision repair biz, I've seen flawed (wavy or ill-fitting) glass from both PPG & Pilkington.
PPG is supposedly the better of the two, but sometimes it's not.
Not sure where AMD or ECS is sourced, but hopefully they're checked before shipping.

I had bad luck with an amd windshield. Brand new and within a month it Almost looks like the two layers of glass are separating. Called amd, and they didn't want to hear about it.

There is a dot number on the windshield. That will tell you who manufactured it.
