I purchased a used 2007 EOS with about 14k miles on it last month. It's got the luxury package and dynaudio so is pretty well decked out. The only problems I noticed since purchase were a cracked cyclops light and a windscreen with broken pins. This weekend I went to the dealer who replaced the cyclops light and and windscreen. However, the windscreen no longer fits in the provided case (dealer is ordering a new case). In taking a look at the windscreen, vw has substantially redone the design of the front pins and how they are engaged. I'm actually quite pleased that the car came with them broken so that I could "upgrade" for free under warranty. If you're having problems with yours, you may want to check into this too.

could you post a photo of the front pins on the windscreen

I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow to post for you.

Hi, the pictures are attached. Sorry it took so long, I ended up on travel before I had a chance to take and post the pictures.

Have the rear location ears also been redesigned ??

 

[superjohn]

Yesterday I picked up the storage bag that goes with the new wind screen. It too is nicer than the original one. It's a little bigger and has a nice carry handle on it.

Can you tell me about what the new windscreen cost? I have a 2007 EOS as well and the windscreen is really faded. Didn't hold the color at all.

 

[raiders63]

For me it didn't cost a thing. The original one broke during the warranty period of the vehicle so it was replaced at no charge. I don't know if fading is something that would be covered under warranty, but you could always check with your dealer and see what they'll do for you.

I know this doesn't completely answer your question about cost, but I really don't know what it would have cost me otherwise.

Thanks for the info. One of our pins is broken also so it will be off to the dealer for a new one .I hope.

I took delivery of my Eos in March and although I didn't order it, it has a windscreen with it so that was a definate bargain. It's normally a £125 option.
