I had never replaced a winshield in over 20 years of driving until I got my 2018 MK7.5 Golf Alltrack. Rock, crack, new winshield.
Infact last week we got a 2015 oddessy that had non oem glass installed last year (no issues). Now we just replaced tje camera unit and it won't calibrate. We instslled a oem glass and problem solved.
Getting a windshield replacement (it's a *$^% rabbit hole getting the right glass/frit from the aftermarket but that's another story) and thought I'd drop this here for interest people. The rubber strip at the top comes attached to the replacement windshield, the part number is VW 370 5G0 845 132
Had the electric wires on in my German B5.5. It worked rather well, but the sparkle effect at night and in the bright sun was just awful. I liked the idea, but the implementation was not that good.
Just scheduled to have the windshield replaced for a 4th time in 5 years. All replacements have been OEM glass. I don’t even drive the car much just tired of paying my deductible once every year or so. Today I was driving on the highway and randomly heard a small rock hit the windshield and next I noticed there was a small crack on the upper right corner. 10 minutes later it expanded to over 2 feet long. Owned a Camry for over 10 years never had to replace the windshield despite hearing several rocks and chips hitting the windshield. Do I just have bad luck with the Honda Pilot windshields or are they just more prone to breaking.
Just got my windshield replaced again for the third time because the previous two had ripples in them, now I got an OEM VW windshield installed and they told me it’s normal to have some slight waves in the windshield. I thought OE or OEM would be better but it’s kinda the same as the other non OE windshields.
tengo un 2021 hrv y mi parafrisas también se rompio..no lo golpeo ni le cayó nada..simplemente se formo la grieta...sin dudas es un defecto
Full replacement in October and 3 star chips filled this month. The replacement was a nightmare, they ordered OEM, but didn't realize there are different windshields for different trim levels until they'd installed it and couldn't connect the rearview mirror. Can't say its a defect since it was a decent sized gravel each time while driving 75.
in the last 13 months of owning an ID.4 I've had 4 cracks, 2 requiring replacement. All cracks have been with OEM VW glass installed at the dealer. I'm at the point where I'm afraid my insurance will drop me if I make any more claims.
I can’t stand looking thru the windshield and the factory one is just about an inch too tall on its lowest adjustment. It was one of the first things I replaced when I got my wing.
