Default Windshield‑Glass Questions for Honda/Acura Owners – Repair vs OEM Replacement?

Hi all,

I’ve got a crack in the windshield glass on my Acura (not from a direct hit, just gradually appeared and is now starting to have chips to spread). I’ve seen some threads about cracked windshields on RDX/Integra/MDX and the differing experiences with Safelite, aftermarket, and OEM windshields.

Some say OEM is worth it for camera calibration and durability, others say aftermarket works fine with proper calibration. Has anyone here replaced their Honda/Acura windshield recently? What did you go with, and how did it affect radar/camera systems or noise/vibration?

Any tips on costs or good installers?
