I’ve had my 2018 for over two years and have taken some serious hits on the windshield from gravel and have been surprised it hasn’t cracked.
I've got a big rock chip on mine I've been waiting for six months to spread and it won't.
almost 4 years under my belt in this car only one crack (sustained in what can only be described as windshield death valley on I-80 in WY)
Figured I should close out this thread by saying I did order the windshield after spending some time with the dealer and their computer. They told me no returns on it if I am wrong about it being the windshield. So $975 (before install costs) later it came in this week and is indeed the windshield.
Yes. My wife and I purposely drive far behind other vehicles to avoid rock chips AND STILL we have a few chips on the windshield at 7000 miles. Frustrating but that's just how it is now.
I actually just had my glass replaced today. The bill on my invoice was $760.00. It did not seem like it was OEM glass though I could have sworn the the old glass had a VW logo on the glass, and on the new glass I do not see any logos.
cracked the windshield right away must be junk
on windshield #2 after tractor kicked up gravel from side of highway. Was surprised as I never had that experience after driving many cars for decades.
I have gone through THREE windshields since January 2023! I tend to think that it’s the height angle of the windshield
I’ve had to replace 2 windshields, both times from rocks kicking up. I’ve had other vehicles for years and years and never had to replace a windshield. So maybe there’s just a higher percentage of bad luck when you own a Tiguan?
