Types of Auto Glass
OEM glass is the original glass used in the fabrication of your particular vehicle model. Automakers use specific auto glass suppliers and then stamp their branding on it. Government standards and manufacturer quality controls are very rigorous for these types of parts. That’s why OEM replacement glass is the highest quality auto glass available. It was literally made for your vehicle. This type of glass is always more expensive than aftermarket glass. If you have a new or luxury vehicle, we recommend OEM glass. Although, depending on the vehicle some OEM replacements aren’t available outside the dealer.
The advantages of OEM glass are that it meets auto manufacturing safety and fit standards and the finish will be as perfect as when your car first rolled off the manufacturing line.
The disadvantages are that it is higher priced than aftermarket windshields, and not all insurance companies cover the complete cost of OEM parts.
After market glass is essentially the store brand version of glass. It can be made by companies unaffiliated with car companies or by the same OEM company, but from a different production line than your vehicle model. Aftermarket glass comes in premium or in generic varieties depending on its country of origin. Generally, aftermarket glass costs $100-300 less than OEM glass.
The advantages of Aftermarket glass is that it often meets or exceeds minimum safety standards set by the Department of Transportation and it can be much cheaper than OEM glass which is handy if paying out-of-pocket.
The disadvantages are that depending on its country of origin, the thickness, durability, density, and tint might be slightly different than your original.
