Just as a note to everone in the forum. I just went through 2 Safelite brand windshields because the lug which holds the rear view mirror on is incorrect. It sits too close to the glass, and when you put the mirror back on, it pulls the lug either off the glass, or cracks the windshield.
The PPG glass has the correct mirror lug offset and works perfectly.
If you're going with Safelite (Their customer service and tech were awesome), make sure you check that mirror lug prior to putting the windshield in.

I go through about a winshield a year living here in Colorado due to all the rocks and gravel that are on the road..
From my experience, I've always gotten the wavy effect on glass that is non-OEM..
my 10cents.
