Windscreen replacement on facelift Kodiaq - caution!

Featured Replies

As a public service announcement and cautionary note to others; went to get windscreen replaced by AutoGlass this morning on 2022 VRS with heated windscreen.  The supplied glass was supposed to fit, but the camera mounts were different and the screen couldn't be used.  They only discovered this after removing the old screen.  No idea what version the supplied glass was actually supposed to fit and match up with, however be warned and get them to check properly before they start knocking your bear to bits.  This seems obviously I know, however the difference wasn't readilly apparent.

On second attempt AutoGlass have sourced and fitted the correct screen so all seems good and matrix headlight re-calibration seems spot on. 

All sounding like the peculiarity with the rear wiper on facelifted models.

Thanks for this.

 

I'm booked in for a new windscreen next week having picked up a stone chip that has grown into a crack.

 

I'm mostly concerned about ensuring a genuine OEM screen is fitted that has the tint to it. Did you get an exact match and an OE screen from Autoglass?

I understand it was an OE screen as compatible ones weren't available.  Autoglass also said that the correct one they fitted the second time around was the only one that had available in the country.  Facelift and heated.
