Exclamation Did they replace the windshield correctly?




What do you guys think? If you move forward, you can see the VIN number, but from this angle, you can't. Seems out of alignment and everything. No leaks, or wind noises, but does this look right?

You're definitely supposed to see it from that angle LOL.

Get that fixed, ASAP!

Is it an oem windshield? My guess is it's not. The cut out for the vin may not be the same. Don't worry about it as long as there are no leaks. You'll probably be replacing this one in a few years.

It's probably not OEM.. and you know how that usually goes. Something is always off but that's the price you pay for not going OEM. As long as there are no leaks in the windshield I'm sure you're fine..

I could be wrong though.

It is hard to say from that photo. Attach photos of the upper edges and we'll tell you if it looks right

Haha! And what's this rooting for the OE windshield? My experience has been that aftermarket glass is superior to OE glass. The replacement windshields last longer.
