What's the latest w windshields: Pilkington or Crinamex?

Last week a local distributor handed my glass guy a windshield w Pilkington stickers on it but the glass was embossed with the name "Crinamex" not Pilkington. My glass guy balked at that as the glass he believed to be thinner and called Pilkington in OH and had a Pilkington embossed windshield shipped, which was installed yesterday without any issue.

A local forum member has had continued leaks with a Crinamex windshield after two attempts to set the glass that he attributes to the glass itself. Another board member several weeks ago ordered a Pilkington windshield also from the Ohio warehouse and was told only eight more like that were left. Maybe production has shifted to Crinamex (Mexico)? A Pilkington rep today told me he didn't know.

My question is, what brand glass have y'all installed recently and have you had any leakage or fitment issues with the glass? Anyone else used Crinamex w success?
