Windscreen replacement of a Volkswagen New Beetle with crack

When the Volkswagen New Beetle was born in 1998 it immediately became clear that it would try to make a success as the classic Volkswagen Beetle. This has not happened so far, but the Volkswagen New Beetle became a true bestseller for the German car manufacturer. In 2011, the Volkswagen New Beetle was succeeded by the Volkswagen Beetle A5, which does not alter the fact that it still enjoys considerable popularity today. Are you also the owner of this car, but are you urgently looking for interesting solutions in the field of a windscreen replacement of a Volkswagen New Beetle? In that case we will be happy to help you!

The emergence of the Volkswagen New Beetle

Before we go into the possible damage that can occur to the windscreen of a Volkswagen New Beetle and the consequences that this damage can have, it is perhaps interesting to take a look at the origin of this nice passenger car. The New Beetle was developed by the German manufacturer Volkswagen as the successor to the classic and, moreover, extremely popular Volkswagen Beetle. What many people don't know is that the study model for this new car was already presented in the year 1994. However, at that time she was called 'Concept 1'. Production of the successor to the Beetle did not finally start until 1997. The presentation to the public followed less than a year later.

How does damage occur to a Volkswagen New Beetle windscreen?

Despite the fact that a Volkswagen New Beetle windscreen is made of laminated glass, this does not mean that it will be protected from damage. In fact, given the location and size of a windscreen, it is particularly prone to damage. Driving on a motorway at a considerable speed and seeing a stone popped up against the windscreen can, for example, already cause an asterisk to appear. Is there a bird or a swan flying against the windscreen of your Volkswagen New Beetle? Then you even run the risk of a big crack. In the worst case, the windscreen is even completely shattered, making it impossible to drive the car. In several of these situations, the only solution you have is the damaged windscreen replacement of your Volkswagen New Beetle. Only in the case of an asterisk is it not necessary to replace the windscreen.

Is the windscreen replacement of your Volkswagen New Beetle mandatory in the event of a crack?

Contrary to what many owners of a Volkswagen New Beetle suspect, replacing a windscreen in case of damage is not always mandatory. A rejection of the MOT will therefore only threaten at the time when it has to be established that the damage to the windscreen negatively affects the driver's view of the road or that there is a crack with branching. Replacing a Volkswagen New Beetle windscreen in the event of damage is therefore by definition not mandatory in all other cases, but is highly recommended. The stiffness of the chassis of a Volkswagen New Beetle is achieved for approximately 40 percent by the available automotive glass. Any cracks or other damage can therefore, in principle, cause this stiffness to be compromised. It is unnecessary to say that you will want to avoid this at all costs.

What if you are not insured against glass damage?

Buying new car windows is not a problem in itself, but what exactly is the price of a Volkswagen New Beetle windscreen? This can be quite substantial at the moment you choose to buy a new, original car window with a brand logo. Such automotive glass may therefore in the first instance only be sold by authorised brand dealers. With the necessary regularity there will be offered on the second-hand market, even there the costs for a Volkswagen New Beetle windscreen are often still much higher than you would expect.
