PILKINGTON Windshields = CRAP
Rock cracked my lexus windshield, had insurance replace it with a pilkington windshield, paid $100 deductable. I go to school, I park outside in the lot where I am exposed to the sun. Couple days later I return to my car and notice that my rearview mirror is daggling because apparently the adhesive on the metal tab came off. Called the guys who installed the windshield, they said they'll replace my windshield with another. Got a new pilkington winshield, and now 5 days later I go to my car and see my mirror daggling again because the tab unglued.
Pilkington is crap, I advise everybody to stay away from their crap products. I guess they do not know heavy our rearview mirrors. Direct sunlight will melt the tab adhesive. Anyways gave the windshield guys a call to see what they want to do.

From anything Ive ever heard, Pilkington is a good windshield manufacturer. If you had complaints about the fitting, the optical evenness across the windshield, or other defects, then complaining would seem logical. The re-gluing of the mirror is typically done by YOUR GLASS INSTALLER. They need to get a grip!

I had a pilkington installed by safelite. Had a ton of problems with wind noise. Had them replace the windshield and still didn't fix the issue. Will go OEM and spend the extra money next time.
