Let’s dive deeper into OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) auto glass to help you understand their similarities, differences, and what to consider when choosing between the two.

What Is OEM Auto Glass?

OEM auto glass is made by the same manufacturer that supplied your car’s original windshield. These windshields are produced during the initial manufacturing run of your vehicle, ensuring they meet the exact specifications for thickness, clarity, color, and durability. It is often harder to find because it is produced when the vehicle is made, and only a limited quantity of glass is manufactured at that time.

Since OEM glass is the original glass, it guarantees a seamless fit and optimal performance. If you prioritize maintaining your vehicle’s factory integrity, OEM auto glass is a dependable choice.

What Is OEE Auto Glass?

OEE auto glass (Original Equipment Equivalent) is crafted to the same high-quality standards as OEM glass but is produced after the first manufacturing run. Often, OEE glass is made by the same manufacturer who produces the OEM glass.

The key difference? Timing. OEE glass is created for aftermarket purposes, meaning it is manufactured to fit a variety of vehicles rather than being tied exclusively to the original production. Of course, all these vehicles have the same dimensions for the glass, ensuring that your vehicle’s integrity remains intact. While it doesn’t carry the carmaker’s brand, it still delivers exceptional quality, making it a cost-effective alternative.

Comparing OEM and OEE Auto Glass

Quality and Safety: It’s in the Details

One common misconception is that OEE glass is of lower quality than OEM. In reality, OEE glass meets the same stringent safety and performance standards. The primary difference lies in branding and the timing of production—not the glass’s durability or clarity.

At True Auto Glass, we use OEE windshields that are expertly crafted, ensuring the same level of reliability and performance as their OEM counterparts. Additionally, we pair these windshields with top-of-the-line quick-cure adhesives, ensuring a secure installation that gets you safely back on the road faster.

Which Should You Choose?

Choosing between OEM and OEE often depends on your budget and priorities. If maintaining factory-original components is essential to you, OEM may be the better fit. However, OEE glass offers an affordable, high-quality alternative that doesn’t compromise safety or performance.

At True Auto Glass, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction. Whether you choose OEM or OEE, you’ll receive expert craftsmanship and a secure installation you can trust.
