UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Can you take pics of your clearence on the side and top of the windscreen please I have had a non vw put in cos of insurance and I'm not sure if fitment is right and also of the tint is correct I can't see the tint that well cos it dark now had my gf watch them fit it and also it may have marked my roof with the tape they used so I will be calling very angry n demanding they pay for the roof respray at a place of my chiding as I know my spray man. I am not in a good mood as it is if I was here I would have said no mate vw only lol n turn them away lol

vw will get their glass from companys such as pilkington anyway bud, who did it? i had my passat done last year by autoglass and to my surprise it was a good job, i suppose it all depends on the fitters skill and if they actually care about there job, hope you sort it easy enough,
if noones posted any pics by the weekend i'll try and remember to grab some of the missus'

Cheers mate update I checked against mates polo (162000 on clock n standard screen still) and my screen is pissed and over to one side by 3mm I will be calling tomorrow. And vw have it on them whereas this o e do t it just a little annoying really me being picking but I want it perfect tape measure out and everything

yeah i know it will say vw on it from factory but that will be the ones they buy for the production line and their own supply, probably charge a bit more but they are made by proper glass companies, mind you i bet there will be budget screens out there too, keep us posted on what happens, hope they fix it as id be the same as you and not at all pleased with shoddy workmanship

Who fitted the windscreen?

National windscreen. Turns out they fitted the wrong one or something so they had to change it again. All sorted now

wheres best place to get a windscreen? as i have about a 8 inch crack in mine, is this a faliure on mot aswel?

had one fitted by autoglass through the insurance in my last polo last year proper shoddy fitment proper c*** the bloke was found a 3m pad under my windsreeen :/ tried to convince me he knew how to cut and dry ended up scratching my fender and then having to get his insurers to come out and fix my polo !
this time round in my other polo had a windscreen fitted as i punched mine during the snow had like a 10 inch crack the new windscreen looks better than my old one!
so if anyone is near birmingham and wants the company ill found out through my guy ...

What do you mean by cut and dry?

was he doing some sort of haircut?!

I presume Dan means he was trying to cut out some scratches with the 3M pad? Cut and Polish?

my bad i meant wet and dry
