Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Volkswagen

Hi all, I finally had the IR windshield fitted. As expected, so far so good. What engaged my curiosity is that the bottom right corner windshield data shows IR/A, rather than only IR.

Thanks. The one with the purple windshield is less sunny inside. I rarely need to use my sun visors.

I've noticed a similar problem with the windshield in my 09 CC. Both the stock windshield and the replacement one (an oem VW replacement) that they put in after my accident have like a rippling effect to them that's noticeable when your looking out towards the passenger's side when making a turn. The ripples go from side to side.

Got two chips on windshield within first week of driving. Never had any with previous car.

replaced one twice

My previous body style tiguans never had an issue, now my 2018 has had a chip, then crack, got it replaced and got another chip weeks later. Had the previous style in rugged places like Colorado where I would get rocks flung up routinely, now it seems like the tiniest pebble will crack that thing.

I have one that has chips and one of the chips started cracking and now it’s going across my windshield ???? and according to car fax the previous owners replaced it twice before.

The OEM breaks very easily.

I love the car a 22 outback wilderness and have had for just over 2 years got in September 21 and just had my 5th windshield replaced. This is the first window that isn\u2019t oem so wish me luck.

Don't get the OEM glass. That shit is brittle. I made the mistake of going OEM last year and barely made it 7 months before it needed to be replaced again. I'm almost certain the OEM glass would have cracked.
