Types of Glass

OEM Windshield Glass

OEM glass is the gold standard when it comes to RV Windshields. Where ever possible, National RV Glass will source OEM glass for our customers. However, if it’s not possible, AMG (After Market Glass) is another solution to consider.

Choosing between an OEM and an aftermarket windshield depends on your priorities, such as cost, safety, vehicle performance and availability.

OEM windshields are safer and more reliable. They offer an exact match to the original specifications and better compatibility with modern vehicle systems, especially if sensors are involved. However, if cost is a significant factor, or, if the only choice for your vehicle is an aftermarket glass, then we have the ability to find the correct aftermarket glass for you.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass is generally considered superior to aftermarket glass because it is specifically designed and manufactured to meet the exact specifications of the vehicle it is intended for. This means it matches the original glass in terms of thickness, durability, and fit, ensuring optimal safety and performance. OEM glass is tested to meet stringent quality and safety standards set by the vehicle manufacturer, which can result in better clarity and less distortion compared to some aftermarket options. Additionally, using OEM glass helps maintain the integrity of the vehicle’s structure, including its aerodynamics and noise reduction features, while preserving the vehicle’s resale value.

In contrast, aftermarket glass may vary in quality, fit, and performance, potentially leading to issues such as leaks, improper installation, or reduced safety in the event of a collision. However, when it comes to Retro RV’s, Discontinued Models, Hard to Find Glass or your pocket, AMG might be your only option.
