06 GTI Windscreeen Tint colour?
« on: 17 October 2010, 19:43 »
I got a crack on my windscreen and just booked in with autoglass, but they are asking if the windscreen has a bkue tint to it.  I've not really noticed and it's dark outside now. Is the tint standard on GTI and is it blue?

You'll be lucky if you get a proper VW screen. I'm insured with Admiral and they refused to pay for a genuine screen because the car was over 3 years old.

They assured me that the screen they would fit would be "exactly the same" and "came off the same production line mate".

It's certainly NOT exactly the same, and if it came off the same production line then it must have been a reject......
