What Type Of Glass Is Best?
The glass you select will affect the end price of your windshield replacement. For example, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) glass will cost 40 to 60 percent more than aftermarket glass.
There are four types of glass to choose from, so which should you have installed? Below is a brief description of each type to help you decide:
- Dealer is OEM glass, which costs more since it has the dealer or manufacturer logo stamped on it.
- OEM or Original Manufacturer Glass is the exact specifications as the glass installed on your vehicle from the factory. However, it doesn’t have the dealer or manufacturer logo on it.
- Aftermarket windshields are usually a little lower in quality but still match the recommended safety specs required by law. In addition, the average cost of Aftermarket glass will be 40 to 60 percent less than Dealer and OEM versions.
- Generic is the least reliable glass on the market and typically comes from an overseas factory that isn’t required to maintain the same quality standards as domestic factories.
We prefer Aftermarket and OEM windshields over Generic glass. You’ll spend less than having a dealer-installed option, plus you won’t have to worry about the quality and safety after the installation.

Recommended Maintenance Services
It’s essential to keep your Honda Civic in top running condition if you expect it to last more than five years. To ensure this, we recommend performing the following maintenance regularly.
- Oil Change: It’s important to have oil changes regularly to maintain an error-free and smooth running engine. We suggest changing the oil every six months or 5,000 miles. However, these recommended intervals may vary depending on the type of oil you select. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for recommended oil types that work best with your motor.
- Air Filter Cleaning: An air filter helps prevent dirt particles from entering the engine. Be sure to clean out the air filter at least once per year or every 15,000 – 25,000 miles.
- Tune-Up: A tune-up ensures all parts of your car run efficiently, including replacing spark plugs, cleaning up any carbon deposits around the spark plug hole, and adjusting the timing belt. View the article we wrote on tune-ups for more details.
- Tire Rotation: You should rotate the tires every 6,000 to avoid uneven wear. A good rule of thumb would be to rotate them when the oil is changed. To learn more, check out the article we wrote on tire rotation.
- Brake Replacement: Brakes are one of the most critical components of your vehicle because, without them, you wouldn’t be able to stop safely. If you notice excessive brake noise while driving, your brakes need replacing. Check out our article on brake replacement for more signs the brakes are going bad.
- Windshield Wiper Blades: The wiper blades help clear away raindrops from the front windshield so that you can see clearly. Replace blades whenever they start making a squeaking sound or at least twice a year. You may need to replace them more often if you live in colder areas with lots of snow and ice.
- Wash and Wax: Maintaining the appearance of your Honda Civic by washing and waxing it will protect the paint from fading and help it continue looking new. To learn more about protecting your car’s paint, check out our article on auto detailing.
- Dent Repair: Just like washing and waxing your car, removing minor dents in the doors or side panels will help your vehicle continue looking new and help it hold resale value. You can repair most damage with PDR services instead of collision repair. Check out our paintless dent repair article for details on fixing minor dents through PDR services.
Helpful Products
LED Headlights: If your Honda Civic didn’t come with LED headlights, you might want to invest and add them. These types of headlights are brighter and use less energy than traditional bulbs. They also offer better visibility during nighttime driving. Check out the article we wrote on LED Headlights to learn more.
Car Covers: Protecting your car is essential; if you don’t have a garage, a car cover is a great way to do this. Car covers help keep the elements off of your car and help it maintain a fresh look. Please read our article on car covers to find out more.
Roof Racks: Honda Civics aren’t the most spacious vehicles for road trips, so you may want to invest in a rooftop cargo box if you plan to do any long-distance traveling with family and friends. Visit our rooftop cargo box article to learn more.
History of the Honda Civic
Introduced in Japan in 1962, the Honda Civic’s original design was a small economy car with a 1.3-liter engine. The Civic was released in North America in 1966 and became one of Honda’s most popular cars ever.
The Civic Coupe was introduced in 1967, while the Civic hatchback debuted in 1969. After that, Honda added the wagon version of the Civic to its lineup. Then in 1981, the Civic went through several redesigns, including a front-wheel-drive version called the Accord.
In 1984, the Civic underwent another redesign and received its current name. In addition, the 1984 model introduced a more extended wheelbase in three trim levels: base, LX, and EX. The Civic nameplate later returned in 1991 with another redesign which remained unchanged until 2006 when it received its current design.
The newest lineup, such as the Honda Civic Hybrid, comes with extremely nice features in many luxury vehicles. For example, they come equipped with a navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats, fog lights, keyless entry, a lane departure warning system, and much more.
FAQ
What type of insurance coverage will pay for the windshield? The comprehensive section of your insurance policy will have details for glass coverage. Some companies will cover all or some of the costs involved. In addition, some states waive deductibles for replacements, so there’s no cost to you. If you’re unsure, contact your insurance company for clarification.
How long does it take to replace the glass on my vehicle? It depends on what kind of replacement you need. If you need a new windshield, most take between 1 to 2 hours to complete depending on the amount of R&I (Removal & Installation) involved. To replace door glass, the amount of time can range from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. It takes less than an hour for most glass parts except the windshield.
Does it cost more to replace the windshield if I have a lane departure system? Yes, the price will increase by roughly $350 for the recalibration costs.
How does the Lane Departure Warning System work? This system works by sensing the movement of your vehicle relative to the lane markings. The system then alerts you if your car moves out of the lane or into the lane markings. At the same time, the system will do its best to steer the vehicle back into the correct position on the road.
Will a rain sensor increase the windshield replacement price? No, this is not something that increases the windshield replacement price. Rain sensors detect rain to activate the wipers automatically. The only difference, windshields designed to work with rain sensors will have a transparent section in the top center for the sensor eye.
Is it safe to drive immediately after the windshield replacement? No, each auto glass adhesive manufacturer should list the safe drive time, typically from 2 hours to 48 hours. Several factors contribute to the overall curing time. Check out the article we wrote on safe drive time for complete details.
