The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee

While we are on this topic, is the dealer the best place for a windshield replacement? I have heard that the glass Safelite and like companies use can be distorted. No idea if that is true or not.

Dealers outsource to 'glass guys'. I asked about this when we replaced our GSW windshield. You also need to request OE glass otherwise they're going to give you aftermarket (which is typically thinner and doesn't fit as well).

With an older car is just get aftermarket glass, but with newer cars I'd get OE. a few hundred $$ more is something I'd pay for regarding windshield glass. Fwiw
