  1. Do you get dinged if you turn in a leased Rivian with an aftermarket windshield?

    Hello, looking for othersā€˜ experiences before I get my cracked R1T windshield replaced. My insurance obviously wants to go with non-Rivian install due to cost. But this limits the windshield to OEE vs OEM. Supposedly the OEE for Rivian is made by the same company as OEM but some posts have...
