Roof glass replacement
Hi everyone
Autoglass just replaced my panoramic roof.
The replacement glass looks a slightly odd purple colour, is this normal? It doesn’t match the front sunroof.
Thanks

Thanks,
That’s literally less helpful than not actually replying.

I just wondered if the original glass was the same.

No, what’s it look like from the inside as that’s about the only place you will see it.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

That’s a polite way to say stop being so fussy, point taken.

There is certainly no harm in questioning the supplier about it!- I know I would.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Hi, our roof glass looks the same as yours, isn’t it to help reflect the sun I’m sure there is a name for type, my vans windscreen looks purple from certain angles.

Just had a quick read up, it might be because it’s laminated and the sunroof is toughened and it’s designed to reflect the uv rays and keep the car cooler.

IIRC my D3 roof glass looked like that especially in some light and as far as I am aware it was never changed especially in the 10 years I had her.D4 HSE Lux MY16 Club Waitomo
