Thanks for your reply Stan - Yes, I agree it can sometimes be seen as a very fine thin thread, but this new screen is causing it to appear almost like glitter across the whole screen. It's very distracting.

i'd ask for a pilkington replacement as this screen might be even worse at night with oncoming headlights causing the same problem..

Spoke to a windscreen fitter when my other half's Audi screen was being replaced.

That's a good point Stan, thank you for highlighting that - I think it probably would be worse with oncoming headlights shining on it.

The fitter told me that if you moan to the insurance company enough they will usually give in and go with the OEM, I guess if you tell them that you have always had issues with non OEM screens and had them changed multiple times, they might give in quicker.

The last screen I had fitted was OEM - I went to a small indy & paid the difference between what the insurance company would have paid that well known (& IMHO having had numerous issues in the past with them, like so many others on here).
