Cool H.U.D. Replacement Windshield

Posted on GM Inside News in their Tech Forum, also.

I'm looking to replace my windshield with the right H.U.D. replacement windshield. The one that was replaced is the correct one. It reflects too much of my dashboard in the glass. It interferes with the visibility at times. The Glass I have is a PPG, but it seems that it lets in 10% more light then normal.

Do anyone know what glass originally came with my '06 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP or what's the proper type of glass to install in it. I can use the help or advice.

On 20AUG08, my care was thrashed with a hail storm of stones and gravel from a milling job on I-95 South here in Philadelphia while I was on my way into work. The paint was chipped on my vehicle and the windshield was cracked. The party responsible for not cleaning up the the stones and gravel left behind from the road work did replaced the windshield, but the company they used put in a H.U.D. windshield, but not like the original.

It's annoying at times seeing the reflection of the dashboard and it becomes an obstruction and a distraction while I'm driving during certain times of the day.

Your insurance company should require the bodyshop or whatever you used to replace parts on your car with OEM parts its your right. I would contact them back and tell them the glass installed is the wrong kind and you want one ordered from a dealership. As for finding the correct type of glass you should contact your dealership and question them abit. Also the reflection you have i also have my dash is extremely reflective at certain times of the day i've just gotten used to it.
