What is the size of the Lavida's front windshield?

The size of the Lavida's front windshield is 124 centimeters in length and 75 centimeters in height. The main types of automotive front windshields include laminated glass, tempered glass, zoned tempered glass, laminated tempered glass, and laminated zoned tempered glass. Notes on windshield repair: Do not wash the car and try to drive on flat roads within two days after replacing the glass. Before repairing the car glass, thoroughly remove all dirt from the windshield. Carefully selecting cleaning agents and related cleaning products is a good choice. Turn off the defrosting and heating function after 5-10 minutes of use, otherwise it may cause the windshield to crack. Repair cracks no longer than twenty centimeters, as the safety factor after repair is not as high as the original. After the repair, the effect may seem good, but after a while, the crack appears again: the most common reason is overheating. Heating the glass to 26--32°C is the most suitable temperature. Beyond this temperature, the glass will expand, squeezing out the resin. At that time, it may seem like the repair is successful, but in reality, part of the resin in the crack has overflowed. When the glass cools down, the crack will reappear.
I drive a Volkswagen Lavida. The dimensions of the front windshield are approximately 140 cm in length and 70 cm in height, which is quite a reasonable design. It provides a wide field of vision while driving, and the wind noise control is particularly good on highways. I measured it myself with a tape measure—just simply from one corner to the other. If you need to replace the windshield, you should check the model year, as the newer Lavida Plus might have slightly larger dimensions. It's advisable to keep the owner's manual handy for reference. Proper dimension matching affects the cleaning efficiency of the wipers, so I regularly clean the windshield to avoid oil film buildup—it's both safe and hassle-free. Once, I drove in heavy rain with a dirty windshield and almost couldn't see the road clearly. Since then, I've understood the importance of the correct dimensions.
Having worked in an auto repair shop for over a decade, I've commonly seen Volkswagen Lavida's front windshield dimensions ranging from 135-140 cm in length and 70-75 cm in height. The exact size depends on your vehicle's year, with a few centimeters difference between older and newer models. Precise measurements are crucial during replacement, otherwise the sealing gasket won't fit properly, potentially causing leaks or noise issues. I remember a customer who tried saving money by buying an undersized windshield - they ended up suffering from wind leaks during highway driving. I recommend owners measure their old windshield or provide the VIN to professional shops for accurate sizing. Related topics include wiper compatibility - Lavida's standard wiper length is approximately 24 inches. Maintaining crack-free glass is essential, so early detection and treatment are important.
I'm quite fascinated by car design. The front windshield of the Lavida measures approximately 140×70 cm, with a balanced proportion that optimizes aerodynamics, resulting in low wind resistance and fuel consumption while maintaining aesthetics and safe visibility. The glass material features a tempered design for durability and impact resistance. The size affects collision safety, such as enhancing protection by coordinating with the A-pillar angle. Compared to other cars, the Lavida has a slightly larger glass area, providing more uniform lighting at night. The meticulous size design is one of Volkswagen's strengths, and regular cleaning and maintenance during car upkeep can prevent fogging and blurring.
