How much did the windshield replacements cost? I’m looking to replace mine for a 2021 Seltos, and I can’t find one for less than $1k in California.
Which part of California are you in?
Our windshield cracked in the same week, and those Kia windshields are not cheap.
Does it have the heated windshield? I’ve heard they don’t hold up very well.

Yes, it’s heated.

That could be the main issue. I’ve heard they’re prone to breaking, and that might be why the 2024 models don’t have them.
Mine’s still holding up well after almost a year and a half, despite some rough road trips. I even had a few huge semis fling stuff onto my windshield during a bad drive to Fargo.
I always keep a good distance from work trucks. They rarely use their tarps. I’ve never had this issue by just staying far behind.
I bought a certified pre-owned 2018 Optima in 2020, and just months later, a small crack appeared at the top of the windshield. It slowly spread in two directions. I tried to see if I could get it repaired due to defects, but I can’t remember what they told me when I contacted them about the engine recall.
