Windshield OEM Volkswagen or CARGLASS

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.

I disagree. I live in Alberta where they pile the stones onto the roadways for 6 months of the year(For traction on ice/snow) and I've never had a tougher windshield. Thing has been nailed dozens of times over the past year and have yet to leave a chip/crack. And for the record I've never had a windsheild last longer than 2 months here. (The passat is my 5th vehicle in Alberta) I broke my subaru Windshield the day I bought it! Its ridiculous.....Glass insurance for a year costs more then the windshield

Make sure you get BLUE tinted glass, or it wont match...had to do it to my GLI the only place I could find it was the dealership, then had someone else install it right there. Price wasnt that bad about 300...

Here in Canada, the price for a standard Phaeton windshield (one that is tinted, but does not have the metallic infra-red resistant film in it) is about $600, which is pretty typical for a full size car or truck windshield.

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.

I have difficulty seeing through my windsheild when heavy rain is hitting the car while driving. The wipers do no not clear the water fast enough and there seems to be some sort of film that clouds up the glass.

VW Glass is crap. If you look real close at your windshield at the lower passenger side, I guarantee that you will find distortion in the glass. It is also softer than other manufactures glass. I have several small and good size pits on my windshield.
