Vitz 2016 windscreen change, a lot of engine noise in the cabin after replacment

[ahmad2873w]

A part of me genuinely regrets changing the original windscreen over a 6 inch crack, i got the windscreen replaced from madina windscreen here in saddar rwp didnt drive the car for a day took it out next day and i notice there alot of engine noise now in the cabin idk what it is its been raining lately but no obvious leaks. the whole cabin insulation now seems compromised.is there anyway i can source a genuine windscreen maybe

I asked for a fuyao screen but there seems to be no original fuyao stamps on it just a Toyota stamp the my car being a radar one the radar placement as well as the rare view mirror seem off to right by an inch. madina windscreen is probably the most reputable one as I've heard here on the forums on previous windscreen topis but i feel like i got ripped off
ps: some one said that the increased noise could be because of bad placement

Give it sometime and you will get used to it.

See…. Original is original. After market replacements are never 100% perfect & work like originals. Plus/minus in satisfaction is always there.

When you went there, then how many options they gave you for screen & prices. Mind sharing which option you choose among them ?

For screens, sometimes cheaper/economical options works great. And sometimes expensive options doesn’t bring 100% satisfaction.

Since the screen is already changed, so give it some time and soon you will get used to it.

Turns out it wasn’t placed properly which caused alot of engine noise to leak into the cabin getting it refitted again basically solved the issue.
I agree nothings compared to original but im gald it was an easy fix and the cars back to normal
There were 3 options Chinese , Thailand and Fuyao i obvs asked for fuyao but i have my doubts the glass it self seems okay but the finishing is meh plus the logo printed seems like it was printed afterwards

This is caused by Unprofessional installation, low quality sealant (they just use common cheap silicon), low quality rubber

I guess It's not about the sealant actually, it's about the technique.
Applying in the correct way is the most important.
Many new mechanics or their Shagirds, apply too much rtv while fixing the glass or fixing sunroof. Which usually cause leaks in few weeks time.
Applying correct amount and in correct way is important which actually makes the difference.
