Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Volkswagen

Have a '12 SE with 42,000 miles, most of which are from winter driving (think road gravel, salt and sand). We have no pits, and from having driven this same route for 30+ years, we have to conclude this glass is the best we've seen.

Spotless. After a week: all well.

I am still happy with the work and was covered by insurance.

My replacement screen Tech from the windscreen specialist company knew exactly what to do, had reference to the correct instructions and his company sourced the exact replacement screen, from VW stock against the car's VIN.

You sure you really want a genuine VW windshield?? In my opinion the damn things are too weak and chip too easily! I think something is wrong with their glass manufacturing over there.

OEM glass doesn't distort around the perimeter. We got an aftermarket window for our Alltrack and were disappointed.

I have it on the eGolf and the trade off of seeing the heating elements is not worth the benefit. If you ever drive in direct sunlight, you'll see these hundreds of wires reflecting making it very difficult to see.

Dealer informed me that my windshield was scratched at some point during the transit from Germany to Canada and offered to replace it as soon as they were able to get a new one. About two weeks after taking delivery of the car I brought it back to the dealer for replacement. I was worried and apprehensive they would screw something up, but went ahead because the scratch was quite big, noticeable and right in my field of view on the drivers side. Came back at the end of the day to pick up my car, and my worst fears were realized. Plastic around the mirror was all chewed up from installer trying to pry it apart with a screwdriver I assume. Both the driver and passenger pillar trims were all chewed up from when they were cutting the old windshield out. To top all that off, they put way too much of the sealant on the new window, so when they pressed it in it oozed onto the pillar trims on the inside of the car. Total butchers!!

Out of nowhere last week, found my car with a big crack on the windshield leaving work for the day. The crack was not there when i parked. Closely inspected the windshield along the crack and no rock chip/pits whatsoever. Crack appeared almost dead center at the bottom edge and worked its way up. When i parked my car at work this morning, the crack had no bulged. But when got back to the car at noon for lunch, the crack had expanded. This in my opinion proves that the windshield was not installed properly and when the steel frame expands, it puts stress on the windshield cracking it. GTI MK7.5, 2500 miles.

I have a distorted windshield on my Golf R. It's right smack in the middle of my view out of the car. It drives me nuts. I already had one replaced under warranty and the second one is the same.
