Windshield replacement is very reflective and as the original

proadventure · 07-02-2020, 06:13 PM

Hey fox,
I had a cracked windshield and replaced it at a certified bmw collision. They said the replacement is oem and the best.
I noticed the windshield is so reflective during the day the whole dashboard reflect, I didn't notice that before.
At night it's reflective too and the heads up display has a white light around it that I only noticed before when it rained but now it's all the time. I went back to them but they said it's normal!!! 2019 x3 m40i

That doesn't sound good... I need to replace my windshield at some point and this makes me want to put it off longer.

If it's OEM glass then not sure what's really different about it. Maybe it's very clean. Maybe you need to wipe it down? Have you ever gotten a front windshield tint film on previous glass?

I am on my 3rd windshield by now. I never noticed any difference between them.

Mines very reflective when clean clean ( after products applied).

Just sneeze a few times or live in a wet and cloudy country

To be honest IDK it's carlex the original one was different name I think, but seems chinese made. Idk if the german made is different.
It's just so reflective I didn't have that problem before
