Recently had the Windshield replaced on our 18 R. We insisted on VW glass. Only thing I've noticed is some slight oozing of the goo inside. We didn't have it recalibrated and the lane departure works fine as do the Adaptive Cruise.
Pros: VW glass, lane departure works
Cons: slight oozing of goo

Dealer informed me that my windshield was scratched at some point during the transit from Germany to Canada and offered to replace it as soon as they were able to get a new one. About two weeks after taking delivery of the car I brought it back to the dealer for replacement. I was worried and apprehensive they would screw something up, but went ahead because the scratch was quite big, noticeable and right in my field of view on the drivers side. Came back at the end of the day to pick up my car, and my worst fears were realized. Plastic around the mirror was all chewed up from installer trying to pry it apart with a screwdriver I assume. Both the driver and passenger pillar trims were all chewed up from when they were cutting the old windshield out. To top all that off, they put way too much of the sealant on the new window, so when they pressed it in it oozed onto the pillar trims on the inside of the car. Total butchers!!
Cons: plastic chewed up, sealant oozed
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

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

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.
Pros: no weirdness while driving
Cons: slight visual ripple
Yep. Was especially noticeable on my 15 GTI. Less so on later models but all have it to some degree.
Cons: especially noticeable

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

Hello, I just had the windshield on my 2006 W12 replaced and it has the IR/A stamp.

Hi all, I finally had the IR windshield fitted. As expected, so far so good. What engaged my curiosity is that the bottom right corner windshield data shows IR/A, rather than only IR.
Pros: so far so good
