OEM Windscreens Replacement vs. Aftermarket Windshields
POSTED 04-20-16
When it comes to replacing windshields, there are two routes you can take. The first being an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) windscreen, and the second being what is called an aftermarket windshield. The choice between both of these windshield replacements is completely your choice. Here is a brief rundown of the differences between these two options.
OEM Windscreens
Created to the manufacturer’s specific specifications
Identical windshield that was originally installed on vehicle
Built specifically for your vehicle / model
Aftermarket Windshields
Built slightly different from manufacturer’s requirements
Manufactured by a company that may not be contracted with a vehicle making company
Tends to be a less expensive option
Better materials and quality than the OEM windscreens
