I bought Rob a MKI windshield last year for his birthday. It has yet to be installed, but the local Novus people said they'd install it for $150. They would check the metal around where the glass is for rust, and check the firewall for leaks before installation.

Here in Canada, the price for a standard Phaeton windshield (one that is tinted, but does not have the metallic infra-red resistant film in it) is about $600, which is pretty typical for a full size car or truck windshield.
Had mine replaced with Pilkington, very good quality (free as well...$0 deductible).
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.
Nissan still does it. I found it distracting when I borrowed by Father's '14 Altima
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.
I have my distortion in my golf R smack in my field of view. it's bad and super distracting. the bad news is my replacement glass is worse.
Work was done at Carglass Spaanse Polder. First of all, they couldn't mount the rainsensor. Would do it later... When driving the car home, the most terrible lights went on and off, the car stopped, would not start anymore and had to be towed to the Dealer. The cause of this all was a (earth?) cable that had been cut when removing the windshield.
All I can say is get quality glass, I went with Sekurit, and even if you WATCH THEM install it they can still F&*K it up because after I went thru this ordeal, I had to take the car back to another guy to fix the leak that was coming from the NEW windshield!!!
Yes I too have experienced the windshield cracking right down the center from the top behind the rearview mirror. The dealer told me that it must have been a rock but there was definitely no point of impact and it cracked while parked in a parking lot at work.
