Got two with non standard can't tell a blind bit of difference,in fact the wifes g mk4 golf was done 3 weeks ago by a local mobile guy £120 did a good job my a4 I've had it 5years and no issues,the only thing I would say is don't use the well known national advertised company there prices are a rip off.
The other query I missed was does the rain/light sensor work any differently which come with non stamped screen?
In fact, I have had to replace my audi screen twice. first time due to the amount of pitting when I bought the car (MOT failure), second time as a very large stone cracked it.Quote:

Seen a few posts flying around about this. When ordering my screen, AG said there was only 1 screen listed for my car. This was for a car with rain sensor & top tint. I did not bother to ask for a genuine screen. There's only like 2-3 automotive windscreen manufacturers worldwide IIRC (pilkington, Saint Gobain & 1 other I think).
If anyone knows different, please feel free to correct me.
All my side windows have the four rings mark, but my windscreen doesn't, it just has Pilkington on it. Rain sensor/auto wipers work very efficiently generally. It also has the tint at the top & I've not noticed excessive wind noise. I've never had it replaced, but it may have been done before I bought it (rear view mirror was off when I test drove the car, so that may suggest it was replaced.
Thanks guys :fing02: ... you're all allaying me fears :Blush: ...
Yep JoshA6 read the info about the manufacturers, I've bought a few parts for the car now which are made by the OE makers with the stamp missing or covered by a sticker due to licensing laws ...
For instance my MAF is Denso part of Hitachi who make genuine one, it has same fonts for text but some text is etched off. Injectors are Bosch without the VAG stamp, throttle is VDO with sticker cover VAG info ...
So mateys do your screens have the black borders around it as well? VIN viewing window if factory specified?
I had a none OEM fitted to my Passat, rain sensor worked fine
Here's a link to it instead, but I've also sent it externally just in case. Damn technology!
Is this what you mean Gup?

I don't understand that. I can see the picture in my last post, even when I log out & come back in anonymously. I've added a link to the previous post & also sent it externally, so hopefully one of the ways will work. Can nobody else see it?
