A lot of times when your windshield gets chipped or damaged, there is a ninety percent chance that you can fix it. However, in the case that the windshield is beyond repairable, replacement would be the only option left. When replacing your windshield, you have to face a certain dilemma regarding which auto glass to choose. There are three types of glass to choose from.
The dealer glass is the first type of glass you can purchase for your vehicle. The dealer glass is the glass, which is made by the manufacturer of your vehicle. Because the glass is made by the manufacturer, this glass usually costs the most. It also comes with the dealers brand name. The brand sometimes assures people that this glass is the best, especially if the brand is from a very prestigious manufacturer, such as Mercedes-Benz.
The second type of auto glass is called the original equipment manufactured car glass. This type of glass is exactly the same as the dealer glass: exact specifications, same glass thickness, and so on. The only difference is that it is made by a different manufacturer. Auto manufacturers usually call these glass companies to tell them to make their type of glass. The glass quality is the same as the dealer glass. Some respectable OEM glass manufacturers are Carlite, Ford, and Crinamex. However, sometimes you have to be sure when picking a type of glass, because some glasses are labeled “from an OEM manufacturer”, but the OEM manufacturer may not have glass as good as the other respectable companies. You have to be sure which company makes your OEM glass.
The third and final type of glass is called aftermarket glass. It’s also referred to as original equipment equivalent. This manufacturer is not legally authorized to make branded glass types of the car manufacturers. So they may be different from other glass types in terms of glass thickness and specifications.
The best type of glass out there is the OEM glass, because it has the exact specifications of the car manufacturers’ glass, and it also comes in a cheaper price.
