Windshield Pilkington or OEM Volkswagen

I replaced mine with an OEC. Didn't need to be recalibrated. Didn't have issues and it's been 2 years

when you do need a replacement, get it replaced with Pilkington brand. It's far superior to OEM (usually Carlex)

Pilkington glass is my go to for any older Toyota as they were the oem supplier for most cars. They\u2019ll also accept glass back as defective if it doesn\u2019t calibrate.

They replaced with Pilkington glass and calibrated eyesight.

The glass we’re on now is a Pilkington, replaced and calibrated at a shop closer to home. This glass has lasted 3x longer than the others combined and recently took a strike from a nickel-sized rock :)

Pilkington>Carlex

The original glass in my Alltrack had small pits within months, even ended up with scratch marks from the ice scrapper. Had to get the windshield replaced a couple of years ago and they installed non OEM glass - still good as new.

I have gone through THREE windshields since January 2023! I tend to think that it’s the height angle of the windshield

I’ve had to replace 2 windshields, both times from rocks kicking up. I’ve had other vehicles for years and years and never had to replace a windshield. So maybe there’s just a higher percentage of bad luck when you own a Tiguan?

we just had to replace the windshield a couple months ago thanks to a small rock getting kicked up.
