Windshield replacement — seal and sealant sourcing

Tags: #windshield · #seal · #part-number · #price · #rain-sensor

Windshield replacement requires a rubber seal. According to a body shop consulted by an owner, the seal is not model-specific — a generic seal can be used ¹². Standard silicone or polyurethane sealant/adhesive is used during installation, with the cost included in labor ³. If additional sealing is needed beyond the standard installation, a polyurethane sealant can be specified ⁴. No specific OEM part number is required for the seal — work with a glass-installation specialist who can source an appropriate one ⁵⁶.

Windshield part number and pricing: OEM windshield part number 5CA063900. Multiple variants exist, with pricing ranging 6,000–14,000 RUB (RU market, January 2025) depending on features (e.g. with/without rain sensor) ^7891011.

Rain sensor windshield options: restyle-version windshields are available with or without an integrated rain sensor; the sensor itself is transferable between windshields. Suppliers list both options separately — "without rain sensor" is a common, cheaper aftermarket choice ¹²¹³¹⁴.

Replacement timing in cold weather: whether to replace a cracked windshield before travelling north in winter, or wait until spring, came up repeatedly. Key points: glass replacement is normally done in a garage/box where the car sits 2–3 hours for the sealant to cure; temperature swings (e.g. 0°C to -10°C) can cause an existing crack to spread from thermal stress; if water/dirt gets into a crack, a repair (rather than replacement) becomes ineffective. Recommendation: replace proactively before cold weather if a crack is growing, since the spider-crack pattern can spread rapidly with temperature swings ^{15161718192021222324252627282930}.

Chip/crack repair vs. replacement cost: small chip repair (sealant/glue applied to stop propagation) costs about 500 RUB per 10 cm of crack length (RU market, November 2024). Full windshield replacement with labor runs approximately 9,000 RUB (RU market, November 2024) ²²³¹³². A later report of a 2-chip repair job priced it at 1,500 RUB (RU market, November 2024), higher than the base 500 RUB rate — pricing varies by service provider ³³³⁴.

Additional OEM part numbers: 5CA063900 — non-original, Russian manufacture; 5CA263900 — original, with more realistic (higher) pricing than the non-original 5CA063900 listing suggests. Non-original glass is widely available from online parts retailers; original glass can be sourced through specialized parts catalogs ^35363738.

KMK brand — most common aftermarket windshield in Russia: KMK (manufactured in Borovskoye, Nizhny Novgorod region) is the most widely installed aftermarket windshield for the X80. Available with or without a rain sensor. Pricing (RU market, February 2025): glass alone 5,100–7,800 RUB; installation ~3,800 RUB; total with installation 7,800–8,000 RUB (without rain sensor) or 8,000+ RUB (with sensor). Installation takes about 3 hours of adhesive-curing time and is best done indoors in warm conditions. Warranty: 14 days for factory glass defects, 10 years on the installation work itself. Contact reported by owners: ЕвроГласс in Yekaterinburg, +73433699090 (had KMK in stock; a restyle rain-sensor variant was expected the following Monday) ^{39404142434445464748495051}. Alternative: Fuyao (China) glass, under 10,000 RUB total (RU market, February 2025), but owners note it often has optical defects (particles, poor clarity).

Windshield replacement cost reports (2025): 13,500 RUB with professional installation (RU market, April 2025), glass sourced via Avito ⁵². Separately, a "simplest"/base-spec windshield with installation cost 11,500 RUB (RU market, May 2025), with the glass in stock so no wait was needed ⁵³⁵⁴⁵⁵.

Brand/quality considerations — BOR vs. KMK vs. others: an installer warned against a windshield sold under the "BOR" (БОР) label, saying it clouds/hazes over time — but another owner disputes that "BOR" is even a real manufacturer brand, explaining that "Бор" is a Russian city (home to the Borsky Glass Factory / Asahi partner plant) where many small workshops produce glass and stamp it with a similar-looking trademark; there is no legitimate "БОР" product line for this car asahi.ru catalog ⁵⁶⁵⁷⁵⁸. One owner has run KMK glass for 2 years with "no issues" ⁵⁹. Another KMK installation reported no clouding after 9+ months, but noticeable rapid sand-pitting/fine scratching from road debris, appearing as an internal dust-like haze layer after about 9 months ⁵⁷. General guidance from the thread: shop by price within the same tier — "the whole auto industry uses these [glass makers]," and even OEM glass develops similar pitting/haze after a couple of years, so quality control varies by individual batch more than by brand ^{6061626364656667}.

Windshield glass compatibility — pre-restyle vs. post-restyle: the windshield glass itself is the same between pre-restyle and post-restyle models, except for the presence/absence of the rain-sensor provision. One owner sourced a pre-restyle windshield for a post-restyle car, and it fit as a direct replacement. Sources: salvage/junk yards and dealerships ⁶⁸⁶⁹⁷⁰.

OEM glass supplier — FUYAO: FUYAO is the original-equipment glass supplier for the FAW X80. FUYAO also supplies OEM windshields for Volkswagen Group (VAG), Kia, and other brands, so earlier X80 units may carry factory-installed FUYAO glass ⁷¹⁷².

Aftermarket windshield durability — brittleness concerns: some aftermarket windshields are noticeably more brittle than OEM glass, with quality varying significantly between suppliers — original factory glass is reported as more durable ⁷³⁷⁴.

Community discussion resource: the Drive2.ru forum has ongoing discussions about custom windshield options for the X80, including heated and tinted variants — a useful place to search for installation sources and real-world experiences ⁷⁵.

Regional availability and pre/post-restyle fitment variation: windshield replacement parts are difficult to source in some regions (St. Petersburg specifically reported as challenging). Fitment and glass specifications may differ between pre-restyle (dorest) and restyle models ^76777879.

XYG glass with rain/light sensors — pricing snapshot (October 2025): a properly-fitted XYG brand windshield (model FWX80VCSLFW), with integrated rain and light sensors, costs approximately 10,825 RUB for the glass alone (RU market, as of 15 October 2025, likely higher since), plus delivery and installation bringing the total to 18,000–20,000 RUB. A substitute glass from local stock (Borskoe brand) is inferior quality — visible waves/distortion through the glass plus a misaligned rain-sensor cutout. Both FYG and XYG brands produce high-quality, straight glass without optical aberrations; Borskoe stock is the problematic option. Sourced via the drom.ru marketplace. Regional availability varies — some areas stock only the lower-quality glass and must special-order the better brands, adding wait time. Glass quality matters for technical inspection (техосмотр) — distorted glass that warps vision is a registration risk ^{80818283848586878889}.

XYG FWX80VCSLFWX with rain/light sensors — later pricing (June 2026): a separately-reported OEM-compatible windshield part number, XYG FWX80VCSLFWX, includes integrated rain and light sensors. Cost: 12,500 RUB for the glass + 4,000 RUB installation = 16,500 RUB total (RU market, June 2026). The reporting owner confirms excellent visibility and no lens distortion ⁹⁰⁹¹⁹².

КМК brand — budget alternative, not recommended: КМК brand windshield is offered as a budget alternative, priced around 10,500 RUB with installation (RU market, June 2026) — cheaper than XYG but significantly lower quality. Multiple reports of delamination and cracking after winter weather; it's sometimes used as a temporary/cosmetic replacement specifically for reselling ("flipping") a vehicle ^93949596. ⚠️ Conflict: one owner (Che Guevara) strongly warns against КМК's quality and reliability; another (Niko75) chose it anyway as the budget option; a third owner experienced cracking after a winter season. XYG is the community-preferred choice for durability.

Chip and crack repair kit: a member suggests trying a manual windshield repair kit, Best Room (one-piece white resin, 3 g), sold on Yandex Market, for chips and cracks; no price was given ⁹⁷.

Item FW-X80-VCS (LFW/X) — pre-restyle only: an item coded FW-X80-VCS (LFW/X) is listed as fitting the 2013–2019 X80 and not the restyled X80 NEW; the reason is not explained and the item is not described further. Compare with the XYG glass numbers above before ordering ⁹⁸.

Rear window glass 5CA063930: the rear window glass for the FAW Besturn X80 is 5CA063930, as listed by a parts shop in October 2025 ⁹⁹.
