Yesterday, the driver's door window glass on my 2013 Touareg TDI was broken out. (It appears that thieves followed us from the bank to a grocery store and then to an upholstery shop, and tried to do a quick break-in and theft in broad daylight on the shop's parking lot with shop workers nearby while we were inside the shop.) VW's price to replace the glass is about $600, but they can't do it until Monday. A local glass shop (next door to the upholstery shop) that I have used before, but not for vehicle window replacement, will replace the glass for about $200 and can do it today. The glass brand is Pilkington (I think), which they claim is high quality, and the shop has a good reputation.
My question for anyone who has had Touareg window glass replaced is whether aftermarket glass and replacement is acceptable in lieu of OEM glass replaced by the VW dealer.
