OEM glass is the exact same glass that is used by the automaker during the manufacturing process of the vehicle. This means that the glass meets all of the original specifications and requirements set forth by the automaker. This type of glass is manufactured by the same company that makes the glass for the automaker, ensuring a perfect fit and quality. This is why OEM glass is considered the best option for replacing automotive glass.
However, OEM glass is not always available for every type of vehicle. Some older or less popular models may not have an OEM glass option. In these cases, aftermarket glass, or OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) glass, is used as a substitute. OEE glass is manufactured to meet the same standards and specifications as OEM glass, but it is not made by the same company that produces the glass for the automaker. As a result, there may be slight differences in the fit and quality of the glass.
One of the main benefits of OEM glass is that it ensures the safety and security of the vehicle. OEM glass is designed and tested to meet specific safety standards set forth by the automaker. This ensures that the glass will provide maximum protection in the event of an accident. In addition, OEM glass is often made with high-quality materials and advanced engineering, which helps to ensure that it is durable and long-lasting.
Another benefit of OEM glass is that it often comes with a warranty from the automaker. This means that if there are any problems with the glass, such as a defect or a manufacturing error, the automaker will take care of the cost of repairs or replacement. This provides added peace of mind for the vehicle owner, knowing that they are protected in the event of any issues with the glass.
When it comes to pricing, OEM glass is often more expensive than OEE glass. This is because OEM glass is made specifically for the vehicle, and it is manufactured to meet specific standards and requirements. However, the added cost is often worth it for the safety and security benefits that OEM glass provides.
