What specifications aren't necessarily being met by the aftermarket Fuyao glass? It appears identical, is it potentially unsafe somehow?
A very prominent glass installer in the Bay Area has noticed with cars using attached moldings onto the windshield or rain sensors/cameras that the aftermarket FYG uses double-sided tape to attach those, while the OEM piece uses urethane or silicone to bond those to the glass. Seems to be the case in the aftermarket. A friend recently bought a Volvo S60 that was a former Hertz rental and it did have a Pilkington windshield installed. The sensor suite housing(for Volvo's City Safety system) fell off. It was attached with double-sided tape.
