I can tell you that there are only a handful of manufacturers of Auto glass. The key is specifications. If the PPG is to the OEM specs you have the same glass, possibly from the same manufacturers. Germany and Sweden order Auto glass from the USA, we are the preferred Auto glass manufacturers.
One important item, there are two primary epoxys for the install. You want the high tech continuous bonding. The reason is the pinch tray which holds the windshield in place. The more expensive autos have a light alloy pinch tray most autos do not. The standard epoxys do not bond well with the light alloy, results air and water leaks or glass movement.
The cure time on the high tech epoxy is minimum 3hrs up to 4hrs and will not set up 100% until 24 hrs. No fast driving or bumpy roads.
The PPG to specs is an equivalent windshield including heat and UV values.
