    That is complete and utter crap from the dealer and for $400 it is NOT a genuine Skoda screen for the sensor windows. It's more than likely a cheap Chinese knock off that took so long because the dealer probably purchased it through ebay.
    When I cracked my vRS (with sensing wipers) screen about two months ago Windscreens O'Brien had non genuine screens in stock in Melbourne and Skoda had genuine screens in stock in Sydney for $20 more. I got the genuine screen from Sydney overnight.
    You have been dudded mate.

      I paid $380 for a new (genuine) windscreen plus fitting, so $400 sounds about right... Don't you think everything is a rip-off anyway?
      You can check if it's genuine by looking on the bottom of the screen on the drivers side for the skoda logo and part / serial numbers etc. and if you're really OCD you can phone a Skoda parts department and have them check the serial number... But you probably have a life...
