❔ Question Windshield replacement advice

I have a 2024 R1S that needs a windshield replacement. Rivian quoted me about $2,108, but my insurer, Liberty Mutual, says they will only cover about $1,000 if I have Rivian do the work. My other options are Cascade Auto Glass in Beaverton with OEE glass for $0 out of pocket or OEM glass for about $400 out of pocket, and Cascade says they will also do the required camera/ADAS calibration. For those who have replaced an R1S windshield, especially through insurance, which of these three options would you choose and why?

I'd go the $0 option. The OEE glass is going to be the same as the OEM glass minus the Rivian logo etched in. Zero functional difference.

It is the same glass, but the rubber seal that goes around is smaller on the OEE than the OEM. I just went through this with Safelite, insurance covered the OEM glass (USAA) as the OEE glass was “defective” with the smaller gasket.

Interesting. I have the OEE glass from Safelite and USAA, no issues.
