The different kinds of windshield glass If you are looking for a new windshield for your car, you may be wondering what are the different kinds of windshield glass that are available on the market. There are three main kinds of windshield glass that you can choose from: OE/OEM, OEE, and After-Market. Each kind has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on your needs and preferences. Let’s take a closer look at each kind and see how they differ. OE/OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This is the glass that was used for the car assembly in the factory. It has the manufacturer’s logo on it, which indicates that it meets the original specifications and quality standards of the car. It is the same glass that came with the car when it was first sold by a car dealership. This means that it is compatible with your
car model and brand, and it will fit perfectly in your windshield frame. OEE stands for Original Equipment Equivalent. This is the same quality as OE/OEM glass, but it does not have the manufacturer’s logo on it. It is made by a certified manufacturer that works closely with vehicle manufacturers, such as Ford or Toyota. It is not made by the same manufacturer as OE/OEM glass, which means that it may have some differences in design or performance. However, these differences are usually minor and do not affect the safety or functionality of the glass. Aftermarket glass is made by a glass manufacturer that has no connection or contract with the original manufacturer. This means that they do not follow any specific standards or specifications for their products, and they may vary in quality and appearance. Some aftermarket glasses may look similar to OE/OEM glasses, but others may look different or even worse. They may also have different features or functions than OE/OEM glasses, such as tinting or heating. OEE glass is usually preferred by auto glass repair shops because it has the same quality standards as OE/OEM glass, but it will usually be cheaper. This means that you can save money on your windshield replacement without compromising on safety or performance. However, some situations may require us to use OE/OEM glass, such as luxury cars and new vehicle models that may not have OEE glass available yet. In most cases, OEE will be the best option for you and your vehicle. It will provide you with a reliable and durable windshield that will protect you from weather, debris, and accidents. However, before you decide on which kind of
windshield glass to use for your car, you should always consult with a professional auto glass technician who can advise you on the best choice for your specific needs and preferences
