OEM Autoglass
The first type of glass is original equipment manufacturer (OEM) autoglass. This type of glass is thicker and exactly like the one that came with your car when it was purchased new, meaning that it has been made by the same company as the vehicle itself. It is designed to fit perfectly into your car and provide maximum safety. OEM glass also meets all government regulations for safety standards since it was made specifically for your car. The only downside to this type of glass is that it tends to be more expensive than other types on the market due to its quality and precision in design.
The second type of glass is original equipment equivalent (OEE) autoglass. This type of glass is abit thinner and not made by the same company as your vehicle but rather a third-party vendor who specializes in producing automotive parts such as windows, mirrors, and windshields. OEE glass is designed to fit into your car just like OEM glass would but at a lower cost since it isn’t made by the same company as your car’s manufacturer. Sometimes it is made by another company's glass manufacturer such as GMC, Ford, Audi, Honda, BMW. It also meets all government safety regulations but may not provide as much protection as OEM glass due to its lower quality construction materials.
