Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM FORD

Getting a windshield replacement (it's a *$^% rabbit hole getting the right glass/frit from the aftermarket but that's another story) and thought I'd drop this here for interest people. The rubber strip at the top comes attached to the replacement windshield, the part number is VW 370 5G0 845 132

I personally got my windshield replaced for my 20 Jetta at West Houston VW. They charged me $1400 upfront. However, after filing a claim with Geico, they reimbursed me up to $920. So essentially i paid $480 for OEM Glass installed and calibrated. IMO that is way better than going through safelite

Replaced mine earlier this year on an SEL-P after a rock chip spread. Yes you will need calibration performed on the camera and sensors that work in conjunction with the camera.

Heated Windshield Hi, had one in my Ford Scorpio some 20 years ago! Fantastic piece of kit.

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.

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.

I haven\u2019t had any issues other than bad luck with rocks being kicked up and pitting the windshield 2X!!

I put an OEM glass in an ExST and it fit like shit, had to cut it out and redo it and it still wouldn't line up like before.
