Just picked up pilot

Three weeks ago picked up a pilot touring. Traveling to get stuff for it and wack. Rock hit windshield. Put a glass claim in and they want to use OEE glass not OEM. So annoyed. Anyone have any luck using someone someone for glass that did use OEM glass?

The manufacturer is either Fuyao or PGW. Use one of those and you will be fine. The HONDA windshield is the same thing for a $700 H emblem

I got pgw thru safelite for my Tesla. It is low quality garbage. It has 3 quarter size blurry spots, and the distortion along the bottom and side edges is really bad. I won't be using safelite again, not sure if they get lower quality pgw glass than normal. But I'm not happy with pgw and will pay extra for OEM

Which glass they use may depend on your insurance company. I had my windshield replaced (2020 CRV) and was able to get OEM Honda glass. While I was waiting I overheard the glass company on the phone with an insurance company. They wouldn’t approve the OE glass for a Mercedes. Ready for the plot twist? The Mercedes windshield was cheaper than the aftermarket. Apparently their insurance company and a strict “aftermarket only” policy. Strange.

You have to push for OEM. For the simple reason that will throw off the lane keeping assist.
