Windshield replacement

[KrackaC8]

Safelite does not use a Nissan OEM windshield they use aftermarket crap from China. I would take my car to a local shop that will install an OEM windshield and just pay the difference. My daughter has a Nissan rogue safelite did her windshield and after six months I’m already having issues with the molding inside and out. I have a 66 Chevy C-10 Safelite would not even install the windshield because they said it would leak. I use a local Shopp and payed out-of-pocket and haven’t had any issues. Unfortunately, anytime a windshield is replaced on a car it’s never the same, your chances are much greater of getting it right with a OEM windshield.

They do not use "China" glass. They mostly use Fuyao & Pilkington which are both manufactured in Ohio and tier 1 OEM suppliers.

Unfortunately I am about to get my second new screen already. All seemed fine with my local big brand windscreen supplier. no issues with calibrating cameras etc.

You’re half correct.

But you’re taking a chance using Safelite that they will source your windshield from China and it won’t fit properly. Best bet is just spend the extra money and get an OEM windshield and have it put in by a professional shop locally, not some 18-year-old kid that’s worked at Safelite for six months. Most of the glass they provide is OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) not OEM. You can request they install an OEM windshield, but it will cost you more. If you’re gonna do that, I would just go the local shop route. Just my two cents after having several crappy windshields installed by Safelite technicians.


Fuyago is a China owned company and they source their glass from various locations including China. Depending on the specific vehicle and supply chain needs, the automotive glass you encounter may be produced locally in the U.S. or imported from its operations in China or elsewhere.

2025-2026 I've had 4 pieces of glass from Safelite, all 4 have clearly stated MADE IN USA on them.
