Hi Guys, another question that you guys might answer for me. I have a cracked windshield and need replacing. Hagerty Insurance says they will replace OEM if that is what I had in my car previously, and aftermarket if that is what I had. I'm not the original owner (have had it 1.5 yrs.).
When I run a google search for Laminted F Kinonglas-Kristall-FIRA/F-HI, nothing pops up. It has a VW stamp on it and still no search results. Have seen pics of same with Audi/VW emblem, but none with only VW. Is this OEM for the 1974 Porsche 914 and where could I get that replacement? Thanks |

That is absolutely the original windshild installed at the factory.
When you remove it you can find the date of manufacture on the edge of the glass. You should go to the dealer and ask for a Porsche supplied replacement. You might even be able to find the date after removing the trim. Hagerty should cover it. Attached thumbnail(s) |
