Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM KIA

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

I had never replaced a winshield in over 20 years of driving until I got my 2018 MK7.5 Golf Alltrack. Rock, crack, new winshield.

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 just had my windshield replaced; I've noticed a slight visual ripple at the base of the windshield on the passenger side. Since it's right at the base it's not something that causes any weirdness while driving. I can't say I even noticed anything with the previous windshield.

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

I have a 23 SXP and on my 4th windshield.

Rock hit right at the top of my windshield and now the crack is traveling around the windshield.

Cracked mine the first 3 days of owning my 2023 Ex X-line. Shits still cracked

I have a 2024 Telluride and I’m on my 4th windshield. I’m in Arizona and it seems like any rock on the freeway destroys the windshield.

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.
