I've had the windshield on my R done 3x now. State Farm glass replacement has a $100 deductible and I was able to get OEM glass. The local glass installer I use coordinated with the VW dealer for them to order the glass and schedule me in. He then did the install in their shop and they then...
LOVE mine. I did cut the old connectors off of the BSM wiring as I am never going back to those tiny mirror icons, then soldered the new wiring into the BSM harness and sealed the splices up with heat shrink tubing.
No pics, but I replaced my 8900 mile Michelin PS4S's that were just under 4/32s with Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's.

I have this on my '17 R and it fit fine. Install was a little bit of a PITA from what I remember as I wasn't familiar with taking some of the trim off at that point and was being overly cautious as to not break clips and the like. I got it on Aliexpress in 2020 though so not sure if the same...
My R had the same issue back in December when we had the subzero weather - the passenger side door was frozen shut then wouldn't latch closed once I was finally able to get it open. You would close the door and it would just pop open again since it wasn't latching. I was able to get it to...
