  1. Yeah, thanks for restating your opinion. I'm not impressed with your dominion or whatever. The choice between aftermarket and OEM is one of balance on any car you buy. If your argument is simply blindly accept whatever a dealer tells you to do, then that's a respectable choice. But it's not an automatic one for me. With the aftermarket Pilkington glass that's on it now, I can already tell that the eyesight and LDW works great. You are basically suggesting that the refraction must be different enough on different types of glass that the calculation made by the stereo cameras would be materially off to miscalculate the distance between you and another car or fail to recognize lanes. It makes sense that on relatively new technology that the manufacturer would err on the side of extreme caution. A technical or semi technical one would be useful for discussion. Oh, forgot to mention, the two dealers in town - neither do ANY glasswork. They send 100% of their business to safelite. They don't use OEM glass. They do a recalibration, but they do not use Carlex. Your academic 'argument' for just following every thing the dealer says is basically "I think you should do it because you should do it" and does't really explain any reason why. I don't really care if you've posted a thousand times or two, or own the forum or whatever, your response isn't particularly helpful. Of course the Acura dealer will sell you a 250 dollar rotor, doesn't mean i care to buy it. BTW, although I live in Portland now, I lived in Jax (NW St. Aug) for 20 yrs up until two years ago.
  2. The bickering on this threat is lame. I have cracks that fit the technical service bulletin but since it's aftermarket glass, there's not much I can do but pay to have it replaced. The cost from safelite is around $740 with a calibration. The cost from a local yokel is around $300, doubtful that he will bother with a calibration. Pay twice as much? No idea, after reading this thread, what the middle of the road solution is. So much noise in this thread makes it unhelpful.
