Why Genuine?

Independent crash test analysis proves Volkswagen Genuine Panels offer the best possible protection and can reduce the overall cost* of a repair.
*Note: All accidents are different and pricing and quality of after-market parts can vary.
Independent Testing
Two identical Mark 7 Golfs were chosen for this experiment. Both vehicles had the bonnet, front mask, cross member, mud guard and bumper trim replaced. The Blue Golf was fitted with Genuine Parts® and the Silver Golf with after-market parts.
Both vehicles were crash tested at 15km/h and the results were staggering. The Blue Golf with Genuine Parts only required 15 new parts as a result of the accident, where the Silver Golf required 38 parts. The value of genuine speaks volumes. Watch the video to learn more.
Genuine Windscreens
Volkswagen Genuine Windscreens are more than a protective shield against the elements. They ensure that your interior heats up less in the summer and provides support for your airbags during inflation.
Genuine windscreens are crucial for the correct operation of your Volkswagen's advanced driver safety features such as Front Assist, Lane Assist and Rain Sensors.
For the driver safety systems to operate correctly a certified Volkswagen technician must undertake the calibration and reset of all electronic equipment following a windscreen repair/replacement, bringing your vehicle back to the factory safety standards.
You have a choice
In the event your vehicle suffers a broken or chipped windscreen, it is recommended to specify a Genuine Windscreen from your insurance company. Genuine Windscreens provide the best fit possible to your Volkswagen and local supply from your approved dealer is plentiful, available when you need it.
Following a repair or replacement of the glass, only an approved dealer can calibrate your assistance systems correctly, meaning, for the safest drive possible, always choose Genuine.
More than just a good view
Safe. Stability. Protection
- The windscreen provides support for the airbags during inflation.
Stability
- Your windscreen is firmly bonded to the bodywork of your Volkswagen and hence a load bearing component. Almost 30% of the bodywork's ability to distort depends on it - and on its condition, of course.
Comprehensive Protection
- The windscreen protects you against the wind, UV radiation and noise. A Genuine Windscreen will help your interior heat up less in summer.
