What is it Kev because I've been told by a number of people in the trade that there are many different suppliers of auto glass of much varying quality. > > >Kev OzOne of the three twins I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

Each time I ask to look at the screen before it goes in as there are huge visual discrepancies in all manufacturing processes. This is generally agreed by each installer. The latest was a cheapie but the quality of the screen matches all of the "Manufacturers recommended replacements" You can definately tell a dodgy one by looking through the screen from outside on an angle. The waves show big time from an angle. Pilkington glass used to be the ducks guts of screens but they too now do shody work as well as the rest of the world.

As far as I'm aware Pilkingtons either went out of business, or went out of the local auto glass manufacturing business. None of the locally built cars use Australian sourced glass. Ford has theirs made in China, and while Toyota and Holden also use imported glass I'm not sure where they get theirs from (although I assume it'd be from Asia somewhere). Most after-market glass is sourced from Asia, and usually from whoever is the cheapest. Obwiens buy their glass from the same suppliers as the local cheapie. -- Regards, Noddy.
