I want answers too.

Pre-hailstrom Honda Ave was offering 41k for screen, 4k for rubber that goes around the screen, 2.5k for silicon and 18k as labour.

Thankyou, hope there can be more responses.

Get Fuyao screen eyes closed as it is OEM for Honda.
Theres a dealer for it if you search.
Get it installed at home by any good installer and dont drive the car for 24 hours.

Dont buy any other after market screen as all of them are fake.

[farazmalik74]

Thank you.

How can it be ensured that Fuyao screen is authentic/ original and not a cheap fake/ knockoff?

[pwuser150504674948]

buy from dealer/importer. Last I checked Amjad Autos was the importer of Fuyao.
Madina Screen Rwp also has them.

Getting AGI windscreen for just 14k. Its locally made and works fine.

AGI/C and Techno are Pakistani brands. Techno is reportedly the vendor for the current generation of Honda City in Pakistan.

AGI/C is a good buy and complete value for money. Why I decided to go for this brand is interesting. My City 11 model which I bought more than 5 yrs ago already had its windscreen changed but I didnt know it. And the brand already installed was AGI/C. So I have a long experience of using it and have no complaints. And again went for it as the one installed on the car broke with a branch of tree falling onto it. And interestingly enough I have used a 2009 model and 2014 model city as well with original screens and was unable to tell the difference.

As far as I know, No manufacturer or assembler in Pakistan is using made in Pakistan windscreen due to non acceptability of OEMs.

Yes they are good enough. All my cars replacement is usually AHMED GLASS.

That Medina screens guy is a fraud, I got the screen replaced, it's a freaking fake screen, when the car is stationary the screen looks okay but when it starts moving, you then start seeing waves in it, I realized that way too late

See the windscreens of Honda Civic Rebirth. They all have AGC marked on them. I have checked 3-4. It can't be a coincidence.

Ahmed Glass probably is the AGC

Care to mention the brand? Madina Windscreen also doesn't seem too good to me. I talked them over the phone and they were talking me into buying a chinese brand and I could sense that that brand was more profitable for them. However I am not completely sure.

Thats contrary to what you have been arguing about before. Glad its clear that no manufacturer is using Pakistan made windscreens in the fronts. However there are exceptions now, in Suzuki Pakistan theres tecno, in Hyundai porter theres ahmed glass but that's about it i think from what i've seen. Corolla cross too is loaded with localized parts except for hybrid batteries i think lol.

So the best Windscreen for A Honda Civic or any other car in Pakistan would be Fuyao. Second would be to opt for Ahmed Glass. I personally don't find tecno up to the mark due to bluring or heavy head issue for some unknown reasons. Best is to check your door glass then look up front there is a vast difference in Suzuki quality. Nevertheless speaking of OEM Yes tecno is installed in all Suzuki cars.

As for Ahmed glass, why is it good is because years of experience. They have gone through lots of QC in the past and have overcome their shortcomings. My hatred for a locally made windscreens has transformed into acceptability due to AGI.

Agc is Asahi from Thailand. Not available any more in the aftermarket as they used to come from India or drop ship from UAE. No one is doing that any longer except for grey imports where genuine is available especially in Lahore Karachi and Islamabad/Rwp areas. Genuine grey imports are cheaper than the company prices you can check with reputable shops for their prices in respective areas.

[chinyoti]

Arguing before? That was my first post.

Yes my Cultus too has techno from factory. I wasn't sure if it was made in Pakistan or not.

My 2011 Corolla had all side glasses from Saint gobain.

The rear quarter when stolen was replaced by ahmed glass. Also the grande comes with all side glasses from Ahmed glass.

If you notice the civic 8th gen had the green tint in side windows similar to the ones in Japanese cars.

[mafiadog]

Oh I got confused sorry. Yes Newer models door glasses are localized for many manufacturers and most are sourced from ahmed glass agi . Civic 8th gen had its glasses imported thus why.

Learning about Ahmed Glass from this thread, I searched the net and came across their website https://www.ahmadglass.com/

It is an impressive company with 2 manufacturing sites in LHR and KHI and one more in UAE. So it is also one of the few Pakistan's multinationals. They have a long list of automotive glass products and brands (however AGC as a brand is not mentioned). They make windscreens with sensors and heaters as well and which tell about their expertise.

When i got the windscreen for my car the shopkeeper told it was AGI brand (short for Ahmed Glass Industies now i know). But its stamp has AGC mentioned on it. And same is mentioned on 9th gen Civics windscreens n older City, i have observed. So this brand I believe is good and is a vendor for Honda atleast for sometime.

No need to go for Fuyao n others. It ll be overspending.
