    Anyone priced a new windshield?

    Picked up a stinkin' chip in my windshield a few weeks ago. Had a glass service "plug" it, but they didn't use suction (the guy used a cigarette lighter under the glass!) and now a "leg" is starting to show. I imagine it will spread as it gets colder/freezing. What's the going price to replace...

    Sedan windshield replacement cost

    Driving in to work today, a 4 inch crack suddenly appeared on the driver's side beginning at the left edge of the windshield. I don't recall seeing anything hit it, but that must have been what happened, because there's a small pit at the end of the crack. It looks like it's going to spread over...

    Windshield Wiper Issues

    I drive a genesis sedan 3.8 2009. My wiper blades hop, streak, and skip and have replaces blades several times. Dealer says no one else makes blade to fit 2009 genesis, but after some internet review, I wonder if valeo blades will work. So, have others had this problem? Anyone know if valeo...

    How do you remove wax from the windshield?

    Bought a used car, and it appears the previous owner waxed the front windshield. I always RainX my windshield, but need to figure out the best way to remove a coat of wax on the glass first. Any suggestions?

    Windshield wiper De-icer. What is it?

    Is it a heated area on the windshield using wire elements where the wipers lie in the parked position? Is it a heated windshield wiper fluid? Heated nozzles?

    Windshield Wipers dragging and skipping across Windshield......

    I got my 2011 Genesis in August of 2010. I noticed when I first got it, when it rained, that the wipers did not wipe smooth across the windshield, but hopped and dragged. I didn't think too much about it then, but now that the streets are sloppy with salt and snow residue the wipers skipping is...

    Windshield Wipers

    Has anyone bought wiper blades for the Genesis from Costco? They are pricey from the dealer but I see that Costco has blades that fit the Genesis Sedan as a buy one/get one free. That is a total of $7.99 for the pair. Any one buy them and do they fit properly?

    Hair in windshield laminate?

    Love my Genny, of course. There appears to be a human hair in the laminate of the windshield glass, of course it has to be just below eye level of the driver. There are no indents on either side of the glass. The only good thing is that the sunlight has to hit it a certain way to see it which...

    Driver side windshield seep hole?

    I was washing my car the other day and noticed when I was spraying down the car a large amount of water was accumulating around the driver side windshield wiper motor area at the bottom of my windshield. It seem to stay there a long time. Is there supposed to be a seep hole there to allow the...

    New windshield or attempt repair?

    I have a 2" scratch in the windshield of my under 2-week old Genesis. Wouldn't be a big deal if it weren't absolute dead center of my vision. I've confirmed that a new windshield is covered by insurance but I'm reluctant with the techie features of the windshield, e.g. rain sensors, and I fear...

    Broken Tech Windshield

    Has anyone had a Tech pkg windshield replaced? We took a rock to the windshield almost a month ago and haven't been able to get the correct windshield from Hyundai yet. They keep sending the part number they say is correct, but it doesn't have the correct configuration for the rain sensor...

    Windshield tint

    I am being quoted for Geoshield DarkMatter (30%) ($299...no windshield)...I have a few questions that I'd appreciate any input on: 1) Is it normal to tint the windshield? Won't this make the car appear more uniform? Should I go with a lower tint on front? 2) I want to car to remain classy...

    Laminated windshield

    On my past cars, I used a razor blade to clean my windshields... Pretty effective to get the glue left behind from old stickers/toll tags/etc. Any idea if this is safe to do on the interior of the genesis windshield? I read that the windows are laminated for sound dampening, and I'm wondering...

    Ahhhhh, a new windshield

    Finally sprung for a new windshield, since my ded was too high to take care of it. Glass is part of Comp. Got it through USAA's deal with Safelite, $515. I had other quotes, and those largely ranged from the high $500.00's (1 quote). three in the $800's, one in the $900's, and one $1400.00...

    Rock Hit the Windshield

    Driving today a rock hit the windshield and cracked it about the size of a silver dollar. :mad: The rock came from a Toyota Camry going 50 mph 2 car lengths in front of me. Insurance is paying for a replacement at no cost to me. :eek: I'll believe it only if my insurance does not go up next month.

    Anyone else have numerous pinhead sized pits in windshield?

    My Genesis Sedan 4.6 only has 10,000 miles on it, is never driven on dirt roads, and in fact, not very often driven. When I'm driving facing the sun my visibility is terrible due to numerous small "pinhead" sized pits all over the windshield. I figured the windshield was just dirty, but upon a...

    Sunshade for windshield

    I see that hyundai does not sell a sunshade for the genesis. I tried my old one from bmw built for the 3 series but no surprise it was too small. I wonder if anyone has found a good sunshade for our cars. I was thinking a e class or s class may fit well. Last I saw they did not say mercedes...

    Foggy Windshield?

    This happens all the time with my V8-Tech: I start the car, and immediately the windshield fogs up, and sometimes the front-side windows, and then the fog starts to recede. This happens in ALL types of weather. My climate control setting is on Auto, sometimes the ASQ is on, sometimes off. Has...

    Cracked windshield

    two rocks hit my windshield and cracked it today instead of paying about $1,000 for my windshield, are there any good repair kits for cracked windshields?
