    Have a chip that turned into a 4" crack, on the passenger side middle, which replacement window do you go with... (using Safelite)
    OEM for around $700
    OEE for less than $200

    The rep said the only difference was on OEE will not have Yota labeling/branding

    Worth a shot for the oee at half the price in my opinion.

    I caught a rock chip on mine and it already cracked right at the edge so they say there is no repairing it. So eventually i will be needing a new windshield too.
    Last windshield i did in my tacoma i went with the generic and i noticed some imperfections in it so this time i think i will go OEM.

    Too many to list
    I would go for OEE...
    Spend the rest of the money in other mods.

    Sorry to hear that. A couple buddies went with non OEM windshields (one was a Lexus, the other an Infinity) and they said theirs had imperfections and waves in it. One said the waves were in his line of sight and bugged the shit out of him, till he sold the car. They both told me to stay with OEM which I did when a rock hit mine and but the end of 4 days I had a 2 ft crack earlier this year. My 2 cents.

    Got mine replaced a few months back. Pilkington glass. $200. Safelight wanted triple that. Seems great quality to me. Can't tell difference from my original. I'd call around and see. Don't know too much about windshields, just my 2 cents.
