My replacement screen Tech from the windscreen specialist company knew exactly what to do, had reference to the correct instructions and his company sourced the exact replacement screen, from VW stock against the car's VIN.
Your best bet would be to get an OEM seal from Europe, I put in a new seal and PPG windshield and have a perfect fit.
I went through that a few weeks ago with my jetta, old windshield was pitted and stone chipped so bad I could barely see driving at dusk or dawn. Seal was all shrunken and old letting lots of water in.
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.
I definitely have numerous chips. I thought maybe it was the aerodynamics of the Model S, but it might be the glass.
Not sure if it's the angle the windshield is at or it's just the most amazing glass in the world but I got 2 rock chips on my 2020 SEL and was super upset cause it's expensive to replace windshields and as well a 3rd rock chip on a Jetta loaner I had from the dealership while mine was being repaired for the hotspot. From the brand I remember VW uses for the Jetta Windshield Saint-gobain-glass and in my opinion it is a fragile glass coming from a person with 3 rock chips...
nissan has some of the weakest windshield every altima I had cracked the windshield
My Outer Banks I’ve had for 1 year as of this week. I replaced my windshield after 1 month for a crack and then two days later got another. I waited till I had 15 chips and cracks in it before replacing it again. Within a month had two more chips, the windshield is definitely a big problem
Hi. I purchased windshield replacement protection (insurance) for my 2018 x1 through my local BMW dealer. The windshield got a chip and the dealership patched the chip saying the windshield did not need to be replaced. The window then cracked all the way across a few months later and my claim was denied because the windshield was already chipped. Annoying to say the least, that I bought windshield protection but am not allowed to use it to replace my cracked windshield and had to pay full price for a new windshield. Needless to say I won't buy the add on protection services again.
OEM glass doesn't distort around the perimeter. We got an aftermarket window for our Alltrack and were disappointed.
