Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM KIA

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.

I have a distorted windshield on my Golf R. It's right smack in the middle of my view out of the car. It drives me nuts. I already had one replaced under warranty and the second one is the same.

I have my distortion in my golf R smack in my field of view. it's bad and super distracting. the bad news is my replacement glass is worse.

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.

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.

The front windshield does suck Had mine replaced after two weeks of ownership.

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.
