windscreen supposed to be tinted ?
« on: 06 September 2006, 00:15 »
just noticed this morning that the bue tint in the side windows was very noticible...but the windscreen looked totally untinted in comparison...had the car from new (05 GTI)...wonder has my car come out of the factory with the wrong windscreen  :sad:  is the blue tint in the front screen noticable on your GTIs ?

YES - Sit in the drivers seat and open the front windows then see if the screen is darker than the sky m8!
