I asked the dealer to replace the windshield and they did, I was in a loaner for a week while they had the car, waiting for the windshield and installation. All the cameras and sensors work for.
Pilkington is an OEM supplier so I wouldn\u2019t be too worried; my old Volvo had a factory Pilkington windshield.
Replaced mine earlier this year on an SEL-P after a rock chip spread. Yes you will need calibration performed on the camera and sensors that work in conjunction with the camera.
I have an 18. I've had my windshield replaced. Replacement glass from Pilkington, made at same factory as the original VW glass. Was around $300-400 installed. No camera calibration required.
I've noticed this on XYG glass, never noticed it on pilkington or PPG
My venue just took the first ever rock to the windshield ive noticed and it cracked about 5” and was 2ft my the morning. Never had one continue to break that far that fast. Probably shitty quality to keep the prices down on the vehicle
My girlfriends cracked the same way around the same amount of mileage. Seems like a design flaw.
Got mine in September, was cracked exactly this way by Jan 1. There’s no way this ISN’T a design flaw (at least).
I also have a cracked windshield
I would rather buy the original BMW/Pilkington windshield from the junkyard and get it installed than get one replacement Chinese sh*t from insurance coverage. Replacements are not as thick, they are wavy and yep in general - crap.
