Default Pilkington Glass for Range ROver

I was in Miami for vacation last week. I'm guessing I ran into the wrong neighborhood, I walked into Walgreen's for some coca-cola and when I walked out they had already broken my front door glass, but didn't take a thing. I strolled a few blocks down and ended at a glass shop called auto glass r us, and they told me my best option was to go with a PGW or Pilkington glass which both are the highest tier of glass, with Pilkington being OEM. They went ahead and installed the Pilkington glass for $160.50. I wanted to know if you guys would have gone PGW or gone OEM like me, or what would be the difference. Thank you.

The glass shop was:
Auto Glass R Us
1495 NW 119 Street
North Miami

Pilkington is what's on my D2. As long as it wasn't counterfeit, you got OEM glass which is almost always the best bet.

Wait, what do you mean by no logo?

It should say Plinkington on the glass, on the corner of the glass.

It does have the Pilkington Logo, just not the Land Rover Logo

Oh, that's fine then. When making replacement glass for aftermarket distribution, the vehicle manufacturer identifiers usually get omitted.
