Replacing windshield

[mafiadog]

It's natural to notice outside noise once glass is replaced , we tend to notice more. Since Cultus doesn't have any accoustic features in it's windscreen it is prone to outside noise. If weatherstrips weren't replaced and everything else being the same then it should sound familiar inside. I don't think there's anything else to produce or lessen more noise unless we alter the lamination inside the windscreen which is the case in more luxury cars.

@mafiadog Salam. I recently lost my defogger and radio antenna in the rear windshield of my Corolla Gli 2012 model while getting it tinted..I know I sound stupid..I did warn the guy about the grid lines but he said that were inside the glass and he just **** it all up while scrapping the old tint paper off of it.

I'm so heart broken Please let me know my options.. I'm in Rawalpindi.

How much a new Fuyao windshield would cost? Should I check the 2nd hand ones as well? I plan to install it myself as I have replaced the front ones in a couple cars already. Will need your recommendations on the glue tho.

Lots of duain for helping out. I hope you can sense my pain.

Regards,
Usman

@mohdusman22 Dear Usman , nothing to be heart broken about. It's completely ok and people go through the worst so all is not lost. You have the option to keep using the same windshield (don't fix what ain't broke) and reapply the tints leaving the defogging function as people rarely use it but in case you are a regular user of the function then I have messaged you the number to contact for fuyao in Rwl.

Was your tint paper installed inside or outside the windshield?

[mohdusman22]

Thanks bro! I actually do use it in the winters and like to listen to some radio every now and then as well.

I didn't get the Fuyao number in my inbox for some reason. Would you mind sending again?

Also, what's the expected cost of the glass? I just received the following quote from madina glass RWP.

8000 xyg china
10500 taiwan
27500 original

Also, since it's rear windshield, what do you think about the kabli one?

Appreciate the assistance.

[mohdusman22]

Sir. The tint was installed on the inside which ruined everything.

Try looking for defogger repairing paste. Should be available in big cities or consider ordering from aliexpress.

I own city idsi 2004, there were water droplets in heavy rain from roof just at right & center edge of windscreen. Denter checked and applied silicon from top & inside from corner to mid of windscreen. . But advised to go to a screen fitter and thoroughly clean old rubber & old silicon & use new rubber & silicon to whole screen to avoid leakages or issues in future for a long term solution.
Do you suggest to get my original screen pulled & again fitted with silicon & rubber or if problem is solved just leave it as it is ????. (denter fitting is yet to be tested by water)

As problem is in silicon and windscreen is perfect, as with time silicon has gaps. I do not want to remove & refit it honestly but need experts opinion. .

Check if there are any leaks after denter's silicon application. If it's good then best is to leave it as it is. Who knows, when you get it pulled for fresh silicon application, new leaks maybe introduced if the applicator does a sloppy job.

However, if there are leaks and water is coming in the cabin, then don't delay it and get it fixed properly. Otherwise, your roof liner will be badly stained and the leaking area will slowly become rusty and get wider as it is collecting moisture now.

Thank you, it makes sense not to mess with it if it does not leak any more. Would do water test tomorrow. Left the newly applied silicon alone for 24 hours to grip.
hope issue is resolved otherwise it is a troubling issue i never faced this before.

Fuyao

[zenosham22]

Can you please share the difference between genuine & fuyao windscreens? I believe the genuine one has gas etc in it or i am not sure of exact specs. How difference is fuyao from it? Why should i prefer fuyao? Thanks in advance

[mafiadog]

Fuyao is the oem credited manufacturer for most auto manufacturers. It's glass should be same or better than what came installed as genuine in your car mainly because of superior technology and coatings available now than back then vis a vis Pakistani imports which are usually down spec or strip down variants of what is available in international markets.

[zenosham22]

Thank you for the info. Does it have the gas filled in the windshield which i believe is filled in the company fitted windshields?

[krafiq]

Today I got xyg from Amjad autos for 6500/-, cultus old model. It's a laminate. The seller was insisting to get a gas one instead which I declined. Any tips as to whether I got a right one or not?

[mafiadog]

Why would they insist ? What's the model of your cultus ?
