It depends on who you talk to.

I know that with my OEM glass right next to the thin aftermarket glass, everything is thinner in the import version. You can see a distinct difference on the thickness of the glass as well as the PVB membrane layer. They cut corners everywhere they can.

The windshield is supposed to be a main safety component in the even of a roll over or other types of accidents. I can only assume that thinner glass means reduced safety.
