I take it if you have auto lights & wipers you need OEM glass?

No, you need a screen with the sensor metal mount already fixed on.

I have non OEM on my Tiguan from when I retrofitted the sensor, no problems whatsoever.

Good man, thanks :)

I've got a chip and I've been meaning to get round to replacing the windscreen.  I know I can get a repair, but it still looks damaged, doesn't it?

The horror stories about loony auto wipers have put me off but I think I'll bite the bullet.  And then check the wipers before the fitter leaves!

Thank goodness I've got protected NCD.
