Yeah, I'm working with a local Honda dealer. I'm dead set on OEM only replacement, I seen them online for around 43-450 + labor was around 1k.It may be a smidge thinner... but I haven't had a problem as of yet. My Odyssey had it's replaced in about 6 months of being new from a rock... but otherwise has been fine since then. I think Pilkington manufactures all the glass for Honda, at least state side. Not all glass is made equal, and if you kind of move your head side to side, looking down the length of the glass, if it's wavy, you get a lot of distortion. The replacement glass was still Pilkington glass, though without the Honda symbol on it as I recall on the Odyssey. I know the replacement piece was *much* less 'wavy' and therefore better than the factory installed piece. Whatever you choose... look at the piece of glass before it's installed. I've had windshields replaced 3-4 times in my life... and not all pieces of glass are made equal. Sometimes a good deal can be on a pretty crappy windshield. You won't see the waviness without looking sort of down the glass and moving your head from side to side.
