Got my windshield done today by a friend in the business for $180. Dont know much about brand, its not OEM of course. Anyone know anything about Pilkington windshield company? I read some posts that they do some oem for BMW..

 

Pilkington is a UK glass company owned by Nippon Glass of Japan. Nippon is the OEM glass for Lexus.

 

Pilkington is often the OEM for a lot of vehicles, and is actually an upgrade to many others. Good quality stuff.

 

soo i guess 180 is not a bad price after all!

 

Pilkington is great quality..I use to work for an autoglass replacement company. Trust me

 

Yeah Pilkington is good. What i hate about aftermarket windshields is their shotty clearence where the windshield meets the roof line. I had a 2006 IS350 that had the windshield replaced with a Pilkington and the windshield was raised about 1/8in higher than the roofline as it was much thicker than the factory windshield. Drove me nuts and looked like hell, even though i was the only one that could tell. Now my 2008 IS350 windshield is factory and if i ever need to replace this one it's only getting OEM Lexus, I won't make the same mistake twice.
