Also interesting to see the windshield glass is Pilkington and to my suprise, no VW logo. Can any European friends verify if this is an aftermarket windshield or original?
Replaced my Glass I had had my windshield replaced when I took delivery of the car. The front glass was scratched. Appears someone wipe down the glass when detailing and scuffed it up. Dealer installed OEM glass and no alignment was required. The bill was $600 but the dealer took care of. Everything works fine.
Just had my done, no calibration needed (OEM glass)
Recently had the Windshield replaced on our 18 R. We insisted on VW glass. Only thing I've noticed is some slight oozing of the goo inside. We didn't have it recalibrated and the lane departure works fine as do the Adaptive Cruise.
Just replaced my windshield. Ordered OEM at the dealership, installer picked it up and installed it a few days later. No issues at all with the \u201cnanny functions\u201d and he did an awesome job. He let me watch and bug him the whole time.
Recently had my windshield replaced due to large crack from rock. 2017 golf R with DAP. I went to the dealer to have it done, but they do have to have a \"window\" company come in as they do not install glass. However, with the OEM front windshield and install I paid $540 otd. I think with the OEM glass and an installer they has done these before, which I did check beforehand, I think that's a pretty good price. No calibration was required as I used OEM glass which contains required guides for DAP install. So far no issues and DAP related features working just as before.
The glass I chose was Pilkington. Don\u2019t use Safelite unless they offer Sekurit or Pilkington. There is a difference in quality. I know Pilkington uses a laminate that reduces sound. They also had an option for a tint strip at the top but didn\u2019t choose it. I had Safelite glass on my 04.5 Jetta GLI which I replaced with an OEM VW windshield and noticed an immediate reduction in wind and road noise and it is much more resistant to rock chips.
I have had pilkington glass before and they are a decent piece of glass, but not nearly as strong a Sekurit.
I had a pilkington windshield on my jetta MKIV and it had to be replaced because I hosed the car off in the sun and the windshield broke.
The glass, made by Pilkington, was touching the front of the IP making noise. I called the glass company fearing the worst, but they said they told me not to worry and they would call Citizens and demand OEM glass.
