Has anyone had to replace their windshield, gone with Safelite, and been able to get a replacement that still has the BRONCO, est. 1966 logo on the bottom right corner? I have scheduled a replacement with them for about a week from now and they said it won't have the logo on the glass.
Not acceptable.

Yes. The only glass available is the OEM glass. If it doesn’t have the script, new vehicles won’t either
Not according to Safelite. They were going to install NON-OEM glass before I stopped them and insisted on OEM.

Replacement glass rarely if ever has the factory markings on it. Even if you were to go to the dealer they'd use a third party glass company.

The dealership I worked at used a company that sometimes had factory glass but mostly luck of the draw, and I've only seen it on two vehicles, both were Shelby vehicles and I have no idea how they managed that.
When my Jeep Windshield, the Decal is included with the new replacement.

Must be new. As of a month ago, the only option was OEM. Safelite would buy the windshield from a dealer.
The aftermarket glass may not have the logos.

Ive had my windshield replaced twice with safelite. Once from KOH, and once from Moab. Both times I have received OEM glad with Bronco and accessory ready on the glass.

They should definitely be able to tell you if it's OEM or not. I had them replace my Jeep windshield twice and gave me the option of aftermarket or OEM with the logos. The OEM was a couple hundred more so I just went for the cheaper one but both options were listed on the site. I understand the Bronco is newer so it might not be something that automatically pops up but they should be able to help you out. Good luck!

... and the "Accessory Ready" labeling, I'd imagine.

I was worried that would be the case.

Time for @StickerFab to step up and help us out.
Just noticed that the other day, what accessories can we get for our windshields?

People should be more upset they probably can't get a replacement union sticker for the upper right corner

The non-oem does not have the logo.

Although I did not read all of the responses, yet, but I can say that when I needed to replace the windshield in my F-150, the first thing my wife asked was, "Does it have the F-150 on it??" (F-150 in the center above the rearview mirror)

"Yes, they replied, you can get it with or without, which do you prefer??"

"With the logo, of course."

I would be mad if they said I could not get the "Bronco, est. 1966" on it.

It's for the powered accessories like light bars that can be mounted to same place where the OEM roof rack goes. If you have the upfitter (AUX) switches, there is already a wire running to the upper passenger side there.
