there are third party companies that still use oem glass and dont charge what the dealership charges... i just looked up the cost with the company my insurance uses.. they charge 300 and use oem glass.. and they are mobile! but only in california.. but there are lots of other companies similar....

i had mine replaced last month,with a non toyota one , i now have a
blue tinted strip across the top,
it cost me nothing as it is covered under my car insurance.

I did check with my insurance (GEICO), and it says no matter what happens to your windshield you still have to pay deductible. God knows if your rates will go up after that. I have been reading that in some States insurance actually covers windshield replacement without deductible and that it has no influence on your rates after that, because cracks may happen without your involvement. I wish Wisconsin were one of those States.

Here your rate wouldn't go up since it doesn't count as a Collision. It's just your Glass Coverage at work, which doesn't really get factored in if the break only happens once. There is a deductible applied though. If replacement costs about the same as your deductible, I wouldn't even bother getting insurance involved

I am really struggling to find a concrete solution. Thanks for your answer here mate! It really makes me believe that it is all about checking in with your insurance, local dealers etc.. I am not sure if in general it is better to go with an oem rather than something aftermarket, online as well I dont seem to find that one or the other is better. I looked a lot at stuff like this https://www.carwindshields.info/wind...something-else
but I still am not sure. Car is about 5k miles on it...if that makes a difference at all when choosing.
