Chips/cracks:

I had Safelite do replacements on my car as well as my husband's car. Of course the insurance wouldn't cover OEM (had eSurance at the time) but I heard that the aftermarket glass that Safelite uses on these cars (Pilkington I think but spelling could be wrong) is an OEM supplier for a lot of German brands. It's been a few years now and both cars aren't showing any issues with the replacement glass. We both have '11 Golf TDIs. FWIW, the replacement glass on our cars also had the tint strip along the top and mirror area in the same place as the OEM glass, you really can't tell the difference unless you look at the manufacturer's stamp.

Pros: no issues, indistinguishable from OEM, tint strip matches

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I just had to replace the windshield in my STI today actually. The installer used a windshield from Pilkington who is also the OE supplier for Subaru. The Pilkington windshield has the exact same sun deflector dot pattern at the top, between the rear view mirror and the roof and has the integrated heater lines for the wiper defroster. The only difference is that the replacement has the Pilkington logo instead of the Subaru logo.

Pros: exact same sun deflector

Cons: Pilkington logo instead

Vehicle: Subaru

Pilkington makes a good product, too...it matches the acoustic and heat-blocking characteristics of the OEM. No optical distortions and decent chip resistance.

Pros: decent chip resistance

Cons: double-sided tape failed

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

VW uses the highest quality glass manufacturers out there, Sekurit, Splintex, Soliver, and Pilkington. These companies make the finest glass out there.

Pros: finest glass out there

Cons: susceptible to stone damage

Ask for PPG or Pilkington replacement glass. OEM glass from VW/Audi is $$$ (and has to be ordered), and both PPG & Pilkington are OEM glass manufacturers. Cheaper alternatives are not any less "safe", but don't always fit as well, which can lead to stress cracks.

Pros: OEM glass manufacturers

Cons: fit issues, stress cracks

Conversion from glue-in to flex gasket windshield is a common modification. I recently converted my 84 Rabbit to a flex gasket/windshield and am very pleased with it. You don't need the "gator" clips and I don't like them. The glass for the flex rubber gasket has a slightly different dimension than the glue-in glass. Simply, order a windshield for a 1985 cabriolet from your glass store. My Pilkington brand with an upper tint band was about 130$ uninstalled.

Pros: pleased with it

Cons: don't like gator clips

Vehicle: Volkswagen
