Why is my windscreen blue?

[AhmedRSi]

As title, is it heated or rain sensitive or something? Looks like it has a blue tinge to it like some sort of film on top?

Something to with sun reflection?

That's what I always thought anyway.

 

[AhmedRSi]

My old one never had it... thought it was an rsi extra like the slight tints to all the rest. Oh well, looks cool.

 

[RDH]

Mine has the tint, and it's really noticable in the reflaection of the sun. No idea what its for though apart from the above.

It does look pretty cool.

Heat reflective.

why has mine got a little square cut in the middle at the bottom?

 

[AhmedRSi]

Does that mean it blocks gps signal?

same here.



EDIT - actually, maybe this is where you stick your gps so it doesnt get jammed lol.

Correct, GPS square. Well it's actually for toll roads on the continent but comes in handy for TomTom too

Yep mine works there. But it was probably designed for the "TAG" esque things on the French toll roads.

The square cut out section is for toll road passes or something like that used in France.

Put your sat nav lead there if your unit needs an external antenna, some do some don't.

- damm you da to the minute too.

no no, satellite signals are RF radiation.

I've always wanted a heat reflective windscreen for my car, as mine doesn't have one.

So when i had a crack in my windscreen, and got autoglass to replace it, i was hoping they'll replace it with one, but nope, same shitty one

 

[cat171]

A heat reflective one costs a lot more than a standard one.

 

[Bash]

does every renault have that weird cut out bit?

 

[morgam23]

the megane classics don't have the square cut.
