Recommend Aftermarket Windshield
We had to replace the windshield on our 07 Camry LE. The OEM price would have been about $1000 and the aftermarket was about $250. There is no difference between the two, except that it says PPG (or whatever) in the bottom corner, instead of Toyota. Even the shading details around the top edge and mirror are the same.
I am a little suspicious of the quality of the Toyota glass. We too 2 small rock hits and had star cracks on each. Similar, minor, hits on previous cars rarely caused a mark. Felt a hit on the new glass and didn't get a mark, either.
Make sure that the aftermarket glass is top quality - like PPG. Don't pay for the Toyota label.
P.S. Ours was covered by insurance, too. I just couldn't stomach ANYONE paying $750 more for the same windshield. I'm happy with the result.
