The Ultimate Telluride Windshield Chip/Cracking Discussion

[Deleter]

Correct, no HUD.

Whether you opt for OEM windshield or aftermarket, calibration still needs to be done...and that has nothing to do with the Prestige package.

This was my first replacement oem installed by Safelite. Just had this happen yesterday. I was about a year with the replacement windshield. Wondering if I should just do aftermarket instead
this time?

I had my 2023 SX P get a chip and then a long crack in the windshield. Just over 1000 miles so I was so upset but better than a door ding. Safelite did try to repair but the crack just got bigger. So next week I am scheduled for new windshield install by Safelite they have a life time warranty hopefully this will all work out.

Hi did you have HUD on your windshield? If so, after Safelite replaced the windshield. Did you notice any difference in your HUD?

I’ve been really lucky since I bought my ‘22 SXP last August. I’ve had the windshield replaced twice by Safelite with an OEM windshield. I haven’t noticed any difference in the HUD.

I would. It use to be you went with oe because 3rd party was poorer quality. Can't see how anything could be poorer than Kia glass.

Awesome! Safelite replaces mine a couple weeks ago. HUD was distorted, just replaced again today with OEM glass. Now the HUD is barely there......

HUD is purely a reflection on the inside of your windshield. It is going to reflect off of any piece of glass or any windshield for that matter. If you can barely see it, maybe something got changed in your settings? Or maybe you had on your polarized sunglasses?

2021 SX Limited here. Got hit by a small rock on road and have a star shaped dent in windshield bigger than a loonie. Kia says it needs replacement, my insurance company says if i get a non-oem (without Kia logo) there's no deductable but if i go with OEM, i have to pay it? Not sure why they are saying this. I have HUD/ Camera and everything, it's a loaded version. I also plan to sell it in 2 years, is non-OEM going to be ok or shall I go for the one with Kia logo

Thanks in advance.

Several people have reported blurred HUD after installing a non-KIA windshield. They had to do it over with OEM to get their HUD looking proper.

How bad could it be, really? It a reflection generally of 2 numbers most of the time reflecting the speed limit. It's not the sharp to begin with.

You'll have to ask the people that have had the issue.

I don't want to put words in their mouth, but apparently it was bad enough (blurred) that it was a noticeable difference between their original and the non-OEM windshield. My first thought on this was like you - it is just a simple reflection, any new windshield should work. But I've seen enough posts from people saying it is blurred that they must be right for whatever unexplained reason.

As for "2 numbers most of the time", I suspect most people have it set up for all the data (as do I) including turn-by-turn instructions from the NAV.

Got my windshield replaced at Safelite. Now my auto lights are not working properly. I don't have HUD, so it is just the auto lights. Anyone else notice this?

Safelite replaced my windshield with 3rd party a month ago. They couldn't get it to calibrate and had to get insurance approval for OEM windshield. I have an EX (so no HUD) but my lane keeping assist was not working properly/much at all with the after market glass. Had OEM for about a week and car works like it should again.

 

[AZTellurideBLK]

I just did

It was like looking at something double vision wise and it was giving me a bad headache, it sucked. Hence having to go back and get OEM glass.

Sa.e issue, dash of my 23 telluride is lit up like a Christmas tree, come to find out no sensors in aftermarket windshield for the newer models. But the don't tell you that so now I have to wait 2 weeks to get OEM Parr and I hope that fixes the problem,
