Rating 5.0

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.

Pros: best glass we've seen

OEM Volkswagen Windshield

Well, my windshield has been replaced! I am wondering though... Did they install a right hand drive windshield? LOL, I don't even think that there would be one in the country, but this is VW . If you look you will notice that the VW logo is now on the driver\u2019s side.

Cons: logo on driver’s side

CARGLASS Windshield

Work was done at Carglass Spaanse Polder. First of all, they couldn't mount the rainsensor. Would do it later... When driving the car home, the most terrible lights went on and off, the car stopped, would not start anymore and had to be towed to the Dealer. The cause of this all was a (earth?) cable that had been cut when removing the windshield.

Cons: cable cut, car stopped

Yes I too have experienced the windshield cracking right down the center from the top behind the rearview mirror. The dealer told me that it must have been a rock but there was definitely no point of impact and it cracked while parked in a parking lot at work.

Cons: cracking right down the center

The OEM windshields are very weak and prone to rock chips. My 07 3.6 4motion wagon got several chips within the first year of owning it. my 08 3.6 4motion wagon also got a chip within the first month of owning it. My BMW 328i have been hit harder (i.e. going faster speeds) and never had a chip. the shop that patched both of my wagons up said they work on many vw's with chips. They say VW uses a thinner glass to lower the weight, thus causing it to chip easier.

Cons: very weak, prone to chips, thinner glass
