You appear to be in California. Although it can be a challenge, you can use California Code of Regulations 16 CCR 3365.1 to persuade your insurer to pay for dealer-installed OEM windshield, as I did for my F10 a couple years ago.
GEICO wanted me to use a Chinese-made knockoff glass installed by Safelite for $600. There are visible differences in the material and differences in the installation method compared to OEM, which unfortunately prices out closer to $2900. I had to do alot of arm twisting but the law is the law, regardless of how many companies and suppliers in California are in non-compliance.
Good luck.
