Windshield OEM Volkswagen or OEM KIA

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.

Replaced my Glass I had had my windshield replaced when I took delivery of the car. The front glass was scratched. Appears someone wipe down the glass when detailing and scuffed it up. Dealer installed OEM glass and no alignment was required. The bill was $600 but the dealer took care of. Everything works fine.

Had the electric wires on in my German B5.5. It worked rather well, but the sparkle effect at night and in the bright sun was just awful. I liked the idea, but the implementation was not that good.

I've driven VWs for a long time now and I've always thought their glass was more susceptible to chips than other brands I've owned. Stone chips/cracks are pretty easy to get in VW glass.

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.

Just got my windshield replaced again for the third time because the previous two had ripples in them, now I got an OEM VW windshield installed and they told me it’s normal to have some slight waves in the windshield. I thought OE or OEM would be better but it’s kinda the same as the other non OE windshields.

Full replacement in October and 3 star chips filled this month. The replacement was a nightmare, they ordered OEM, but didn't realize there are different windshields for different trim levels until they'd installed it and couldn't connect the rearview mirror. Can't say its a defect since it was a decent sized gravel each time while driving 75.

in the last 13 months of owning an ID.4 I've had 4 cracks, 2 requiring replacement. All cracks have been with OEM VW glass installed at the dealer. I'm at the point where I'm afraid my insurance will drop me if I make any more claims.

I’ve had 3 windshields replaced. My current windshield is now chipped in 2 spots. I’ve given up.
