Why should I choose genuine?
It’s more than just a good view.
Your windscreen is far more than just glass and a protective screen against the elements. Its complex structure can be drastically affected by stone chipping damage or light scratches. Fine scratches from dust, sand or ice scrapers can diffuse light from the sun or oncoming traffic, causing dangerous glare for the driver. Even if your windscreen isn’t visibly cracked, a windscreen has a finite life and should be regularly replaced to ensure maximum safety.
Safe Support.
The windscreen provides support for airbags during inflation.
Stability.
Your windscreen is firmly bonded to the bodywork and hence a load-bearing component.
Comprehensive Protection.
The windscreen protects you against wind, UV radiation and noise. Your interior heats up less in summer.

It’s matched to your vehicle.
A genuine windscreen is produced according to manufacturer’s specifications, taking into account all series-production specifications, so that their stabilizing effect on vehicle statics is retained.
They also ensure that original operating and functional safety of vehicles is fully restored after repair and there is optimum interaction with high-tech functions, such as driver assistance systems like rain sensor or Lane Assist.
It’s for your comfort and safety.
Genuine windscreens provide effective protection against harmful UV rays, and the insulation aspect of them keeps the interior cooler while also protecting against noise – creating a quieter ride for you and your passengers.
The robust safety glass used in genuine windscreens helps to support the airbag should it be activated in an accident. Upon deployment, the front passenger airbag is supported from behind by the inner side of the windscreen, which must therefore be capable of withstanding such a load.
Did you know?
Along with its powerful adhesive, the windscreen is an active, weight-bearing component of the vehicle’s body. It actually provides up to 30% of a vehicle’s body stiffness!
