Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / August 2006Replacement Glass Question
Hello: Have a 2006 Accord that looks like it will need a replacement front windshield due to a lot of rocks impacting it over the year. Would Giant Glass be O.K. to use ? I guess I'm wondering if they use "real" Honda approved glass, or an after-market type ? Should I have it done by a Honda dealership ? Any thoughts on would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob > Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Any thoughts on would be appreciated. See my reply to this identical message in rec.autos.honda. I see you have posted this same message to at least four groups independently. Learn how to crosspost correctly.  SignatureTeGGeR® I would not get this done at a dealer, but I would use quality replacement glass like PPG or whatever Ford uses (or whatever any other automaker uses). Do not use Safelite glass, it sucks. >I would not get this done at a dealer, More than a few dealers sublet their glass work in any case.

In my experience aftert-market glass can be of inferior quality. It is safe, but not as uniformly finished. You may find that windshield wipers don't hit the glass as well. >> Hello: >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > of inferior quality. It is safe, but not as uniformly finished. You > may find that windshield wipers don't hit the glass as well. the car manufacturers do not make their own glass. I think what you mean is get same brand as original. > >> Hello: > >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > the car manufacturers do not make their own glass. I think what you mean > is get same brand as original. FWIW, I did not say the car maker made it's own glass. I said insist on using glass from the car manufacturer. The manufacturer could get the glass from many makers but it would be of a uniform standard. |
