Hello,

I had a new windshield installed at Seat, but now the windshield is distorted.
in the lower area, approximately 5 cm above the windshield wipers, extending almost across the entire width.
Normally, it wouldn't be within my field of vision. I didn't notice it with the old screen.

Question:
Are these tolerances within the acceptable range for the disc, or should I/can I file a complaint?

You mean that by "distorting," they change the appearance of the street scene in a different way?

It's difficult to accurately judge size and distance in this area.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Hello,

Yes, the urban landscape is being transformed in a different way.
You can best notice this when you look at the road markings in this area.
The tire is observed to be worn. The tread pattern then shows significant wear towards the center of the tire.

I think the disc is under some kind of stress there.
With my Golf IV at the time, I had this problem in the lower corners on both the left and right sides.
When I bought the car, I even felt dizzy during the first few drives.
