Personally, I would not be against aftermarket. I have a number of pits, etc. in my original one that makes me think the OEM windshields leave something to be desired anyway.

Asahi manufactured the winshields for Maxima. However, you can try brands such as PPG. PPG is the OEM for Toyota. So I think they make a good if not decent quality winshields.

I am waiting for a new winshield right now. It seems the aftermarket winshields do not have the correct dimensions for that shaded ares where the mirror is glued on. Something about the compass.....

You should insist on getting an OEM windshield. It is the only way you can be absolutely sure of its fit, finish and overall performance. There is a reason you pay all that money to your insurance company each year . . . make them pay for a new OEM windshield.
