I paid a little more, the difference between what insurance pays and what it ended up costing, but I was very happy with the whole thing.
I believe in OEM.
Ditto. When a stone cracked the windshield in my 2 Series my insurance company wanted me to use Safelite. Instead I took it to my dealer and the OEM BMW windshield was installed in their shop(they don't sub out glass work). As it turned out I still paid $0 out of pocket.
When I worked there we had more than a few cars come in with issues involving the rain sensor and/or camera(s) after a non OEM windshield had been installed.
Shoddy installation was the usual culprit.
