Default windshield replacement

Unfortunately I need to replace my windshield. My inclination is to go through the dealer for a factory replacement. I'm concerned that the aftermarket replacement won't have the black dots between the visors. Anything else to look out for if I go aftermarket?

Appreciate hearing your experiences.

i changed mine when i cracked it driving.

I went with the dealer route because its under insurance claims.

with regards to the black dots, i think if you aftermarket source, source from an OEM manufacturer, it may come with these black dots.

Thanks. I'll probably go the dealer route as well, since my insurance covers the replacement.
