Recently had my windshield replaced due to large crack from rock. 2017 golf R with DAP. I went to the dealer to have it done, but they do have to have a \"window\" company come in as they do not install glass. However, with the OEM front windshield and install I paid $540 otd. I think with the OEM glass and an installer they has done these before, which I did check beforehand, I think that's a pretty good price. No calibration was required as I used OEM glass which contains required guides for DAP install. So far no issues and DAP related features working just as before.

Pros: OEM glass, good price
Cons: no calibration required

got the windshield replaced today at safelite and everything went well...go with VW - its really not much more expensive. ensure that the camera/rain sensor details show up with the glass version. this glass comes equip with the glass-side hardware pre-installed that allows for the interior camera housing and trim to fasten/lock into it.

Pros: glass-side hardware pre-installed
Cons: potential damage

Well, my windshield has been replaced! I am wondering though... Did they install a right hand drive windshield? LOL, I don't even think that there would be one in the country, but this is VW . If you look you will notice that the VW logo is now on the driver\u2019s side.

Cons: logo on driver’s side

Out of nowhere last week, found my car with a big crack on the windshield leaving work for the day. The crack was not there when i parked. Closely inspected the windshield along the crack and no rock chip/pits whatsoever. Crack appeared almost dead center at the bottom edge and worked its way up. When i parked my car at work this morning, the crack had no bulged. But when got back to the car at noon for lunch, the crack had expanded. This in my opinion proves that the windshield was not installed properly and when the steel frame expands, it puts stress on the windshield cracking it. GTI MK7.5, 2500 miles.

Cons: cracked out of nowhere, crack expanded while parked, defective workmanship

Earlier today I went under an overpass that was dripping melting snow. A few seconds later, water began streaking down the INSIDE of my windshield. It was entering pretty much dead center of the glass, where the rearview mirror is. It was also entering over on the passenger side (right side, American car). I've looked online and seen that this isn't an uncommon issue with Volvo glass it looks like.

Cons: water streaking inside windshield, uncommon issue with glass

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.

Cons: distorted view, drives nuts
