RE: Windscreen / Quick Question

[ope126]

Hi All,

Quick question...

Does anyone with a "Genuine/Factory" windscreen have the display panel in the lower left passenger side that displays the VIN ID Details.

I thought that this was only on cars in the US, bout VW have advised that mine should have a window that displays the VIN ID Details also.

Mine doesn't, but my screen has been replaced.

Any help would be great.

Windscreen

Hi,
I believe mine has an original windscreen in it.
There is no "window" to view any numbers. Mine has a small clear plastic "window" in the panel under the windscreen (top of the wirewall)that shows the VIN number through but it is not part of the windscreen.
Hope this helps

Thanks for that. I am aware of the position of the VIN on the firewall.
I am more concerned in relation to the "window" in the glass that displays the VIN ID Details through the windscreen.

Any others out there?
