smithy Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 i need a new windscreen and they asked whether it's tinted, it doesnt look tinted, so i said i dont think so! can anyone shed some light?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I dont think so, but are they thinner that norml Lupo glass? Sure I read that on here somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I think the front windows are thinner, jon273 measured my GTI and his TDi and the GTI was thinner.I'd assume that the front screen is the same thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1.0e Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) There is indeed mention of a difference between the two. Nicki found out a while back when her GTI suffered a chip. I am sure it related to thickness rather than tint though. I think the part number is in that thread I just did a search and it bought up several threads that mentioned windscreens so it may take a while to find, if I do i'll add it here.

Toi gulp Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 the windscreen is tinted.....only very slightly, or at least that what autoglass replaced mine with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Here's the thread from when I had a problem with mine:http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52077Quote them the part number - best way to make sure they bring you the right screen!

jon_273 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I think the front windows are thinner, jon273 measured my GTI and his TDi and the GTI was thinner.I'd assume that the front screen is the same thickness.Aye, I remember that. Still not sure why I was carrying vernier calipers in the car though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 You'd brought them especially! There'd just been discussion about it on here before a meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
