Thread: Windscreen ident

Yes 😎

Genuine is over 750 bucks fitted...Chinese eg FY is 450 fitted..so you can see which one the insurance will go for. My insurance co refused to fit genuine. Mind you JLR use Chinese glass anyway..some of which might even be made in the USA.

..oh and I think that is XYG..the cheaper of the Chinese glass makers. FY acoustic is the one to go for. BTW the Hobart LR dealer fits FY glass. I could not get genuines anywhere in Aus at the time so went for FY..been good so far.

Looks like the windscreen has been replaced at sometime before got it then Ta Much

Problem with FY (Fuyao) and the other aftermarket glass that I have see is that the surface scratches up much more easily.

Not too bad if used mostly urban, however I have seen them scratch up far easier, and then at night the vision clarity starts to degrade.

I made sure my policy covers Genuine glass.

My windscreen got cracked about 6 months ago and the crack spread from the bottom gradually. RACWA didn't want to put in an OME screen but changed their mind when I told them of the other insurances I had with them. I pay to have proper replacement repairs not junk from China or elsewhere.

Agree..best to fit genuine..I wanted too but corona virus thought otherwise as glass supplies dried up. There was only 3 windscreens in Aus that suited my car at the time...and the car was illegal...

Having said that..the FY acoustic glass is thicker than the original...the installer showed me...so the car is a bit quieter. Oh and the rain sensor is definitely working better..it does not trigger the wipers randomly any more..not sure why..maybe the new glass vs old scratched glass...

Genuine next time/year tho☺
