Unhappy Quality Control - Windshield

I noticed that my windshield was scratched on the inside. The location of the scratches is so low that it is inconceivable that it could have happened after manufacture. Looks like an in transit issue from the glass manufacturer. Even so, it should have been noticed in final inspection. I was willing to let it go if BMW would make an adjustment and not claim it against me at the end of the lease. No go.

The dealer agreed and ordered a replacement.

It has been installed. Now my Heads Up Display is very dim, even adjusted to the max it is not legible. Headlights on or off makes no difference. Also if the headlights are in automatic mode, they go on no matter how bright it is outside.

I took the car back, dealer checked part numbers to make sure that it was the correct windshield, and says - "I don't know what the problem is."

I figure that a sensor wire was either not connected or reversed. Dealer should have checked the car before telling me that it was ready.
