It's been a week since i picked up my new car. It's an ex demo 04 and i love it. I've been lurking on these boards these past few months and apparently i've picked the fastest colour too.

Anyway i've been going over it with a microscope and there is a slight chip/scuff on the windscreen right in front of my face! It's not repairable so for a

 

It's true

 

Dont understand your question,

OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer = Honda?

Surley if its original it will say Honda.

 

Mine is a Pilkington glass one, don't think it is any different from a normal one !!

 

While the 04 screens are better than the earlier one's, they're still crap compared to a good Pilkington.
Go with a non-OEM but make sure you buy a new screen seal and provide it to the installer.

 

i called honda cambridge and they quoted me

 

I've noticed that the screen easily gets lumps taken out of it by thrown up stones.

Never noticed any on a car before, but i've got 2 already on mine.
