Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM FORD

OEM Volkswagen Windshield

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

Pros: rubber strip attached
Cons: rabbit hole getting glass
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Part number: 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

Pros: OEM glass, proper calibration

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.

Pros: OEM glass needed
Cons: calibration needed

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.

Pros: rippling effect noticeable
Cons: distracting when turning
Vehicle: Volkswagen

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.

Cons: cracks easily, low durability
Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan
