OEM vs. Aftermarket Glass: What You Should Know
Choosing between OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket auto glass can significantly impact the quality and safety of your vehicle. OEM glass is produced by the same manufacturer that made your car’s original windshield and is designed to meet specific standards for thickness, durability, and optical clarity. This ensures a perfect fit and optimal performance. In contrast, aftermarket glass is produced by third-party manufacturers and may not always adhere to the same specifications, potentially leading to variations in thickness, fit, and clarity.
While aftermarket glass can be less expensive, it may compromise on quality. Differences in thickness can lead to improper sealing, increased noise levels, or even distortion that affects visibility. Additionally, aftermarket glass may not align perfectly with advanced features like rain sensors and heads-up displays, affecting the functionality of these systems.
