Do Car Manufacturers Make Their Own Windscreens?

The simple answer to the question of whether car manufacturers make their own windscreens is no.  Car manufacturers have their windscreens made for them by several different companies.  Usually, they will bid out the work for windscreens to subcontractors.  You may find windscreens made by more than one windscreen manufacturer on the same model of car. 

Car manufacturers do have windscreens made for them to meet their exact specifications.  These types of windscreens are called OEM windscreens.  You will know that a windscreen is OEM if the car manufacturer’s name is inscribed on the windscreen. 

The most confusing aspect of the windscreen is that they can be OEM windscreens which are considered original equipment on the vehicle.  This simply means that they were manufactured to the exact specifications of a specific car manufacturer.  The same company may produce what is called aftermarket windscreens.

Aftermarket windscreens do not have to meet exact specifications of car manufacturers.  While the aftermarket windscreen may fit your vehicle, you may be getting a windscreen that has a reduced quality than an OEM windscreen.  The advantage of an aftermarket windscreen is that they are normally much cheaper than OEM windscreens.

When you go shopping for a replacement windscreen for your vehicle, you need to be sure and shop with a professional and qualified vendor to make sure you are getting the best quality windscreen for your money.  Also, you do not want to scrimp on safety when deciding on the best replacement windscreen for your vehicle.   Shop with a vendor that has a wide selection of widescreens and can do the expert installation for you.
