I’m confused VG have you swapped your windshield out and had issues? Seems some of the the people posting above have swapped to non BMW without issue. Speaking from experience? |
Yes I'm speaking from experience – recently on my son's car. Some insurance policies will cover it, others will not. Progressive offers a windshield policy add-on. For what it would cost, you could replace the windshield once a year and it would be about the same. Naturally this will differ from vehicle to vehicle.
I'm not saying anything is wrong with non-BMW glass; however, my take is that if you can afford the car, you can afford using original parts. Will it cost more? Probably. I just like going to the dealership for everything so there's only one place to hold accountable.
