Windshield Repair Forum

Hello,

Quick question from the pros here in the forum. I am in the process of getting my windshield replaced in my 2007 Honda Odyssey through my insurance. I called around to a bunch of installers and heard lots of interesting things! Many companies offer cash back after the job. The thing I need your opinion/help on is what type/brand of glass should I request be installed, one company told me that I should get "FYG" as it is excellent glass (I think she said "platinum" standard) , another company said CMX (Crinamex) was what they would put on the Odyssey. Any advice?

I made the mistake of allowing FYG glass to be installed on my 2003 Suburban a few months ago, (had Pilkington glass on it before), I have noticed rippling/distortion in the glass since it was installed and just today called the installer and they offered to replace it with whatever I wanted. I told them Pilkington. (The installer also offered CMX and said it was basically the same as pilkington) Any Advice?

Thank you,
Steve

Never heard of that brand but have used what u have and I agree that I've noticed a lot of distortion and waves in it pgw and pilkington are both very good cheap glass has its place I put it in a lot of cars for used car dealers to keep cost down but I've also found that no matter what glass u buy there has been a lot of distortion in all of them lately
