EnglandSoul Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Wow what happened to tht? Someone jealous pop it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just shut the driver door and it popped. Not sure what happened. Can only think it must have been hit by a stone whilst the council were cutting the neighbouring glass and was just waiting for the next applied pressure.

Blue Loop Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 17th of june, that's crazy!Are the GTi windows different to normal Lupo glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I thought only front screen and door glass was different. Maybe the tint?The technician is going to look at my front screen with a mind to order a replacement and fit before mine gives. Got one nasty chip and at least three little ones. Autoglass lady on the phone said most insurers will replace rather than repair more than three chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ironically the first question was; is your car secure?My answer; no.Didn't make a lot of difference did it, but at least if anything happens between now and the 17th...

lupogtiboy Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 All the glass on the GTI is the same as the 3L glass, just about thick enough to be road legal. Its all about the weight saving......!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I knew about the windscreen and front windows being thinner. Never thought the rest of the glass was also thinner!Good to know, will try not to break anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 11 years old and a happy MOT result today.

Bems Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 You seem to have so many spares up in that attic of yours Silver I'd be inclined to use some before your bedroom roof caves in lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 12 years old in december I just had to buy some additional servcice booklets. (need to go get the last stamp from Decemebr from my VW Specialist) Â OE from LupoBoz, they say "duplicate" but that's all they do. maybe they don't expect anyone to be stamping their service history after 10 years.

You don't need to service them after 10 years old! In fact I think you're supposed to throw it away and go and buy a new car.
