My last vette had chip that started to crack insurance replace no questions asked and rates did not go up. Not sure they will replace based on looks.

Wrong. They will replace it if you are not satisfied. Just tell them you want it replaced. Your rates will not go up either. Falls under comp which is a no fault insurance.

This is industry standard.

if you have a heads up display you need factory glass, very good chance of getting a ghost image of the display with a non factory windshield.

Interesting -- thanks for sharing that info. Why is that? What is different / special about the factory glass?

owc6

This is absolutely not true.

Whether there is a GM marking on the glass or not, as long as the it is HUD glass, you will be fine.

Heck, I'm not even sure you can even get a GM HUD windshield at this point for a C6, unless you find one in a junkyard.

Fletch F. Fletch

I'm a little confused on your second sentence. Are you saying as long as it is HUD glass? If so, what is HUD glass? I always thought glass was just glass -- never knew there was such thing as HUD glass.

they sell GM C6 HUD factory glass every day

Where? GM has never made glass for a C6. They buy it from suppliers just like Safelite and all the other glass repair shops. The factory glass in my C6 that I bought new was manufactured by AGC Automotive (APTechnoglass). Since 2014 Safelite has been manufacturing the same glass. https://www.safelite.com/about-safel...ss-windshields

The OP just needs the proper glass for a C6 with HUD from a reputable supplier. Also the glass for OnStar is different I believe because there is a GPS and a non-GPS version. Insurance will not go up nor should there be any deductible if the company covers it. Ah... there's the rub. If it is just that you don't like the looks then it won't be covered. It needs to be a safety issue the definition of which is up to the particular person who makes the decision.

Aquarian

Sorry should have been more specific... the possibility of getting a ghost image is from using "non HUD" glass...its in the manufacturing process and a lesser quality version will have diffraction of the image giving it a double effect....just sayin' ask the vendor before buying or replacing.

the APT factory installed glass is available at any GM dealership

FortMorganAl

And the same glass from the same factory is available from a dozen other places at a far lower cost. And, unlike a dealership, it will be installed by someone who specializes in and has plenty of practice installing automotive glass. But if there is something magical about dealerships, a Ford dealer would probably be just as competent as a GM dealer and the price would probably be the same for the same piece of glass and, in many instances .exactly the same piececoming from the same distributer. No dealership is going to stock all the different types of glass needed for all the cars that might come in. They may very likely just call Safelite to have a piece delivered if not just sublet the entire job to them and then tack on a surcharge.

I need to replace a windshield with HUD. What is the difference in a HUD windshield, and a windshield without? I have been told that there is a reflective film between layers of glass. Is that accurate?

jimbob8915

I was quoted $400 for standard glass an $700 for HUD glass. Yes there is a reflective film where the display projects.

I had to have mine replaced two years ago due to a rock chip. I'm with USAA and had Safelite handle the replacement with HUD glass with no issues at all. Had them do our Yukon XL with HUD& Auto Wipers twice due to chips and a large crack. Again, no issues so I totally agree with others. Just make sure they know you've got a HUD so they use the right one.
