yes! like this, also note the gap at top.. drivers side is 5.42mm and passenger side is 3.42mm

 

 

Unacceptable. They are not 'like that from factory'. 

You might be looking at a paint correction job to put that right.

paintwork is unmarked which is something.. can someone post  pic of an OEM screen?

Not about the paintwork being unmarked, it's the erratic application of (polyurethane) adhesive which needs to be removed from the pain surface. The bondline should be uniform and straight; nothing visible.

It might have sealed but that looks like DILLIGAF standard.

Hi Marko, it went away into the dealer today for a new screen, they tell me that once fitted it will stand for 24 hours to allow full bonding and then it will need taken to Edinburgh to have the lane assist camera recalibrated......once I get it back I will update on how it looks.

 

how did the screen turn out? I've been trying to have a discreet look at random Octavias and I'm almost certain they should have a side seal/finisher down the A pillars..

Hi Marko, 

 

Believe it or not I still don't have it back. Dealer called on Friday to advise that the calibration wouldn't be finished until last thing Friday so Monday would be best to pick her up. 

 

Damn I miss it.

if you wouldn't mind? I just want some evidence before I make an official complaint to Autoglass. I'm sure it shouldn't look like that!

I have a sunroof fitted. The gap between the pillar and the glass is wider at the top than the bottom, I think it's the shape of the screen. It's the same both sides.

There is also a rubber strip between the roof and the Glass. That might be because I have the Sunroof so I don't know if yours is/should be the same.

thanks Auric, you may have a different roof but there is a seal up the A pillars to cover all the nastiness, mine is clearly missing and just looks wrong!

what is this vertical thing that looks black then? looks like a rubber strip to me? or am I seeing the picture wrong?

I have just been out to double check. The definatly no rubber at the side of the screen only at the top.  I think it looks like rubber but It dirt, needs cleaning with a Q tip

I've had a screen recently fitted by autoglass and they came to me, really professional job, I would complain to Autoglass head office, yours looks unacceptable 

[marko]

already made a complain by email, by emailing I was able to send pics and explain in detail the situation.

 

this is how it should look!

Well I got the car back from the dealer this morning and I must admit it looks exactly like it should, Skoda branded screen and the channels all clear. Washed and hoovered too.
