My local glass replacement place tells me that OEM is easier for him to get and that they also cost him a bit less.

It took Safelite three tries to finally get it right on my 2021 about a year ago. Leaked a ton and loud wind noise the first two times.

That was the reason I never took my 2021 F150 in for the windshield recall.

DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 22, 2021 – Ford Motor Company is issuing safety compliance and safety recalls in North America.

Safety compliance recall for select 2020-21 Ford F-Series vehicles for windshield adhesion
Affected vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards because the front windshields are inadequately bonded to the vehicle body structure. In the event of a crash, the windshield may not adequately stay in place, which may increase the risk of occupant injury.

This action affects 79,017 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 6,986 in Canada and 1,347 in Mexico, including:
  • 2021 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant from Oct. 27, 2020, to Feb. 3, 2021
  • 2020-21 Ford Super Duty vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant from Oct. 13, 2020, to Jan. 23, 2021
Something with the clear coat used does not allow the windshield adhesive to stick. The fix was remove and reinstall the existing windshield.
