Well I've heard mixed reviews regarding oem vs aftermarket. My insurance will be taking care of most of it so I mind as well get OEM. And the dealer have an outside glass company to do the work (they used this glass company to do all their infinitis)

If the crack is still very visible after the repair then I'll have the dealer order the windshield and get it replace. I'll take some before and after pics so you guys can see how it looks.
A lot cheaper than I got. Of course it always costs more in Canada.
How much is your deductible?

Deductible is only $100 which was why I was firm that I wanted OEM glass. But my major concern is regarding the actual install. I don't want to take the chance of getting a leak or excessive wind noise etc. Especially the wind noise--with my paranoia I would probably think there's wind noise when in reality there is none lol.

The guy in the reflection is the glass technician btw. The last pic shows how the crack currently looks like--can only been seen under direct sunlight.
