Totally agree.

To be specific, insist on SEKURIT, SIGLA, or if you have to PPG.

NOTHING else.


I made the mistake of letting them allow me to use XYG glass.

Very very cheap for them. (insurance)

"XYG" glass is Xingyi Glass company out of Shahghai, communist China.

Scratches easily, risk of clouding, optical distortion, and god knows what else.



If anyone came past my house at midnight and heaved a brick or a pumpkin through the XYG windshield, on the 560SEC, it would not hurt my feelings too bad.

Just PM me when you'll be in the area, and the car will be in the driveway that night, and not in the garage!!
