I used to work for Safelite Autoglass. Sometimes our companies brand of windsheilds would have distortions but we would replace them at no cost if you had any problems. I never saw OEM glass have distortions though.

 

My original 94's windshield had a distortion around the middle of it, you could feel the glass sink in when wiping it. I just had it replaced because of a crack for $180 installed new windshield is so much nicer, no distortion, and no more damn scratches from the wipers.

 

Bastard.

 

That was with new moulding too

It's probably some cheap glass that'll shatter not spider when I get in an accident. But i dont care, for now she looks 1000x better.

 

The name of the manufacturer should be at the bottom middle of the windshield. Real small.

 

That's the trick, you get what you pay for. Safelite ONLY deals in Chinese windshields, that cost anywhere from $88 to $100 dollars. I replaced my cracked windshield 5 years ago (2018) with a genuine GM factory windshield manufactured by PPG (Pacific Plate & Glass). The windshield cost $735, fits perfectly, no whistles or distortions.
