It's Pilkington.

My uncle has it on his CT due to a crack from road debris and it has been holding great as a daily driver. I can't tell the difference from his OE windshield if it's not for the logo, also came with all the sensors built in like urs.

Is that only held there by glue? I see a plastic piece that slides onto another one that has two obtrusions on the end like to fit onto something.

there is a plastic piece and a screw. When I bought my car used the screw was loose. I tightened it up and no issues since.

I got my windshield replaced through my insurance I insisted on OEM. They caved and let me get one from the dealer and they covered it. It's pricey but with the rain sensors and wiper heaters, it's worth it. Plus the quality is much better.

nicely scripted. Imagine being able to do that on your feet for any debate.

There is special glue available to glue mirror back on. Gorilla glue will not work.

One of the great dry comedians was John Clarke, I used to look forward to their show every week.
