Tailgate Window - double glazing breaking down

[Badgio]

Hi,
Has anyone experienced the misting up of the double glazed tailgate window? If so what action did you take other than phoning the VW garage where you bought it from. I noticed that mine has started to mist up yesterday whilst driving back from a day out.
Thanks, Badgio

Some details about the vehicle might help?

I had one window replaced due to water in the window. It was the most rear right window. It was replaced under warranty.
The sliding door window is starting, and the left most rear window is quite white now.
The rear window is still ok, so far.

You could try the Insurance route but I would be very surprised if a claim was accepted unless the window was broken . Double glazed units do deteriorate over time and this is now 11+ yrs old.

Kernow Transporters might be an option to replace the unit.

Ask a autoglass specialist - OH you did!

I would have thought as it doesn't need to be in one piece, its pretty easy. Hoovering up afterwards may take a while.

Body shop to remove window, auto glass to fit replacement !!
They supplied the right replacement-double glazed and tinted.
Apparently there is not enough space for the windscreen people to get their cheese wire cutter in. I can only imagine that the body shop ( autofix) will break the window somehow! Hoping there is not too much collateral damage.
