Be aware al of cheap glass that doesn't fit very well. The black label on the passenger side on the screen if it says fy then tell him no thank you. Its cheap inferior Chinese mince

Pretty sure you'll find that if Autoglass supply an Elite spec screen (clip for rain sensor and heat reflective) you'll find it is made to order by Pilkingtons.

Dunno about that mate. Seen them fit some strange stuff to cars. Pilkington is the best windscreen I think

Strangely enough, had a windscreen fitted by Autoglass on the Transit yesterday.  It's a Pilkington screen, and the service was impecible.

Your one of the lucky ones. We are run off our feet up here cause autoglass cant cope, telling people 3 week wait for door glasses.

Here's the thing though, I would have though glass making technology (and not floating it on lead) is better now than it was 12/13 years ago.  I'd bet the new screens (aftermarket) are better quality than the originals.  :-\

Have to say, despite the wait Autoglass are a million times better than Auto Windscreens were the previous two times I've had a replacement Omega windscreen.
