Due to several cracks, we just recently had our windshield replaced with OEM/Lexus glass. The rubber seal around the windshield is folded under in spots (on the top edge) and the company we used to install it said it’s due to the manufacturing of the windshield and the seal that came with it instead of an install issue. The original windshield did not have this issue, so just wondering if anyone else had their’s replaced with OEM glass and could send a picture of the seal on the top edge of the windshield so we could compare?

I had an couple chips, but opted for chip repair due to the fact that true OEM windshields are not available and on backorder. They found an aftermarket, but not OEM. I tried several Lexus dealerships and got the same message from everyone...

I just recently had a tennis ball size Rock impact repaired today. I posted about it on Facebook and received more than one reply saying that they ordered a windshield and we're told it was back ordered for months and received one within weeks. My fix is more of a Band-Aid than an actual fix and I fully expect it to continue cracking as soon as I get some kind of temperature fluctuation. I've already hit up the dealer and they are going to bring one in for me and let me know when it arrives.

Less than a month between ordering a OEM windshield for my GX and its arrival at the glass shop. So at least in some regions, availability seems to be better.
 
Well.... my dealer said they didn't have any and then last week had two. I was fortunate enough to get one of them....

No issue on the installation of the new OEM windshield; works as well as the former, minus the crack and tint.
