Hi All,

I'm new here. Great forum.

I need to replace the windshield of my 2015 ILX. The dealership gave a quote for +$1000. They said they need to replace the trims or moldings. The aftermarket windshield quote was for $350.

An aftermarket windshield would work as good as an original?

Thanks

 

I don't think there's anything really special about the OEM windshield. But check if your insurance covers this. My insurance has a $100 deductible to replace the windshield.

 

just go through insurance... get OEM-like replacement.

 

OEM is usually the way to go if the price is right and there is not something special about the aftermarket that they said addresses an issue, I know mechanical this is mostly the case but for glass not 100%

ex: aftermarket could be thinner letting in more wind noise, but if price out weights the balance then... you know
