New Windscreen Query

[seraphic06]

Long story short I have a very irritating chip in my windscreen. It is dead center in line with my field of vision when driving. If I have the windscreen replaced will the new glass have the sun blocking part (consisting of many black dots) around the rear vision mirror and between the two sun visors? Or will the new glass just have blue band across the top?

Thanks.

Depends on the vehicle and availability of windscreens.

Tinted banded windscreen is available for most vehicles (blue/green band across the top) and clear windscreen is that of just black borders with maybe acrylic dots near rear vision mirror.

My corolla hire car doesn't have the tinted band, but my owned cars of two falcons and Commodore did.

Tinted banded windscreen with colour across the top still has the dots to the rear vision mirror

What's the concern?

Got windscreen insurance?

I'm just a bit OCD. I like how the acrylic dots obscure the sun when low to the horizon when at certain angles. I'm less inclined to have the windscreen replaced if the replacement doesn't have them. My insurance policy covers one free windscreen per year.

so call the windscreen shops, ask them if itll have it?

If its for your VZ, will have dots and also tinted band.
Only one type available.

In this thread, complete windscreens did a botch job on Devilly's car
Dunno why the posts deleted though.

But apparently mould alignment, and sikaflex stains and misaligned windscreen from memory.
Mightve been a glaziers bad day, but research companies or ask for specific if using insurance.

Got my front done twice and rear done once by Obrien and windscreen done not long ago.
Cant fault it.

Would recommend RainX afterwards on the glass (not the type you place into washer reservoir)
Beads water away nicely.
Anything over 50km/h dont even need wipers when raining as wind blows it off

Cheers uniacidz. Obrien's is going to be my first port of call next week. I used them when I owned a VL many, many years ago.

May I suggest shop around.
Windscreens are not really an expensive thing, but money can be saved if you need to.

He has the windscreen insurance option

Try to avoid Chinese manufactured windscreens.
