Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM Hyundai

Figured I should close out this thread by saying I did order the windshield after spending some time with the dealer and their computer. They told me no returns on it if I am wrong about it being the windshield. So $975 (before install costs) later it came in this week and is indeed the windshield.

I ended up going through a reputable local glass shop near me who was able to order the OEM glass from Hyundai (took several weeks) and cost about ~$1,600. They didn’t need to do any camera calibration since they didn’t have to move any camera modules. I haven’t had any problems since then. As for whether to get OEE vs OEM? Really up to you but I really preferred to have the OEM just for peace of mind, especially with a HUD and all.

The glass is the OEM part, not a third-party product. They did the job when it was scheduled, and the calibration seems to be correct.

Safelite put an OEM VW branded windshield in a year ago. No issues so far

Yep. Was especially noticeable on my 15 GTI. Less so on later models but all have it to some degree.

Bought mines in 2022 an this is my third time replacing the windshield. I have a 2022 hundai venue.

I have a 14 year old camry with 4 similar chips in the last 8-10 years, still holding firmly, no cracks. Hyundai windshield doesn't seem to be as strong, saw another palisade owner come in for a rock chip repair while I waited.

This car (or Hyundai) windshields are weak.

windshield randomly cracked in the summer heatwave. No impact yet vw refuses to replace it. These are obviously defective. Don't know what course of action is appropriate but I'm not happy.

The new windshield sucked and had distortions in multiple places and around the edges. It was really inferior, irritating, and we never got used to it.
