m@ttc 30 Posted April 26, 2014 looking on service box some glass is listed as green tinted. I'm wondering if this glass was specific to a model, or paint color, can anybody help? i cracked my window screen today trying to remove it and id like to get the right replacement. my cars lazor green if it makes a difference. thanks matt.

scbond 15 1 Cars Posted April 28, 2014 Just an assumption but it sounds like a tinted sunstrip which would've been an optional extra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m@ttc 30 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) There is an E code, the letter "E" that is circled followed by a number. This number indicates the European country that has certified the auto glass, which is not necessarily the same as the country where the glass was manufactured. the e2 means france. and DOT221 means it was manufactured in Cristalleria Espanola s.a. Madrid, Spain. Edited March 17, 2015 by m@ttc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ren 0 Posted March 22, 2015 All Gti's have bronze glass as far as I am aware. Base models should be clear and the green should be on the higher spec but below Gti. Not really looked but I would imagine D-turbo and STDT etc. The easiest way to tell what colour glass you have is to wind a door window down part way and place a piece of white paper behind the top of it. You should see the colour change was enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m@ttc 30 Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks for the tip mate. It would have been helpfull but unfortunately i dont have it anymore. I took it down the tip, as i really didn't have the space to keep a broken screen around Some good info there, i never new the green glass was on those models, guess i'll have to look out for a bronze screen then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scbond 15 1 Cars Posted March 22, 2015 Not entirely sure but I don't think the windscreen was bronze tinted, just the sides and rear. I could be wrong though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ren 0 Posted March 29, 2015 Windscreen is definitely bronze tinted, they also do a bronze with blue sunstrip. I think my old Roland Garros had green glass, can't remember for definite though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
