Has anybody replaced a G70 windshield?

I received my 2024 I7 around ten days ago, having waited since April. During my test drive, I failed to see it; but, when driving towards the setting sun on my return home, I saw what appeared to be a "arc" scratch on the windshield. Upon arriving home, I promptly contacted the dealer to document this issue.

The next day, I revisited the dealership, and after they cleaned the vehicle, the scratch was indeed still there. these past Monday, I delivered the automobile for the resolution of these and other concerns. It seems they will substitute the windshield, which elicits ambivalent sentiments in me.

Has anybody with a G70 model undergone this procedure? How long did it take, if applicable? Are there any issues? Thank you.

I would ensure they use OEM windshields. Aside than that, it should be a simple fix. Typically, it should need a few hours; nevertheless, the dealer will likely retain it for almost a day. Upon receipt, ensure that your HUD functions correctly and that the sensors in your rearview mirror are operational.

The vehicle is leased, and the documentation explicitly states that glass repair must be OEM; nonetheless, I will confirm this. I will verify all the systems. I will be pleased if it does not permit wind noise and if no other issues arise. Thank you.

I just replaced the windshield of our EQE AMG sedan because of a rock chip on the I-5 while en route to Pebble Beach Car Week.

Mercedes-Benz Beverly Hills performed well, and the vehicle seems like new. All safety systems are functioning well. Ensure you inspect the paint on the A pillars for any dents on the outside and assess the alignment of the headliner upon collection.

Had to use insurance; the entire expense exceeded $5,000 for the specialized noise-reducing laminated glass with the acoustic comfort package. It might be prudent to ascertain the whole cost out of curiosity.

Although it is not a 7 Series, when receiving my iX M60 in 2023, I encountered a same window fault and damage. I was courteous but resolute that the numbers and codes on the new glass must match those of the original. I photographed the damaged factory glass and confirmed the match after the glass repair. They performed well and used the precise IR glass.

I received my 2023 760ix on July 5, 2023. While returning home following a delivery, a rock the size of a hockey puck caused damage to the windshield.

I used my insurance provider, USAA, which has a contractual agreement with Safelite. After one week, Safelite was unable to find a replacement windshield, and both Safelite and USAA let me to directly approach the BMW Dealer to get and install a new windshield for my damaged one.

This, in my opinion, ensured it would be an OEM component.

Upon receipt of the replacement windshield, the Dealer sent me to their third-party installation in Orlando, who provided excellent service.

The primary reason for my replacement was supply chain complications.

My windshield was replaced last week. My I7 has the Climate Comfort Glass option, and I was surprised to find a new windshield available in local BMW inventory in Orange County.

My 2024 vehicle was involved in the stop sale. It was outdoors at the Port Hueneme VDC for two months, accumulating dirt, and I presume that sand and grit infiltrated the wiper area. The wipers were scratched when used by personnel at the VDC or dealership.

The driver's side mirror was obscured by a substance that resisted cleaning, but the dealer successfully removed it. Similar observations were noted about what seemed to be adhesive residue on the inside of the rear glass. Prolonged exposure to the California sun for two months, while the manufacturing wrapper remains intact, results in a significant mess. Ultimately, everything seems to be satisfactory presently. It is time to commence enjoying the vehicle!
