Chipped/Cracked windscreen

[chazzypuk]

I had the screen in my MK6 replaced twice, both times OEM VW screen. Both times a perfect job, you'd never tell it was replaced. The MK6 had a similar mirror / rain sensor attachment and it was fine.

Me too, although I insisted it was VW screen and that the rain sensor was replaced, rather than the old one being reattached to the new screen!

Thanks for mentioning this! I just assumed it would be a VW screen. I called them and they said the customer had to specifically ask for a genuine VW screen! This wasn't mentioned to me when I made my original booking. I also requested that it came with a new rain sensor. Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait a bit longer for it now.

I've opted for a heated screen on this car. I am hoping the only ones available are the Vw ones

Had my mk7 only 2 weeks when I got a stonechip from some gravel thrown at me by an A4 quattro...

Lucky it's small enough so I won't bother to get it fixed now (only chip on outside, not a crack or anything), as it would be full replacement since in field of vision.

Wonder how much it would be though..... front cam for beam assist, rain sensor, heated front screen 
Full replacement if you go to VW as it's all bonded onto screen apparently...

Yeah I have all that apart from the heated part. I'm just waiting for it all to be processed now. I'll post back my results once it's all done. I'm worried that the rain sensor will not work as effectively once changed :-(

We have been unfortunate enough to need two replacement windscreens on our Mk5 gti.

The first was replaced by a VW dealership and the second was replaced by autoglass (not my choice!)

Luckily, after both replacements, everything still worked, including the rain sensor - which is as sh!t now as it's always been!

Mine works perfectly at the moment.
