Since the last time I posted, Anthony installed the Pilkington FW4119 glass on my car. He was right--it was completely free of any distortions, haziness, or warps.

I find it to be much stronger than oem windshields on these cars and cheaper too. Had my cracked oem one replaced with Pilkington glass by an independent glass guy for $260
When I went to my dealer in NoVa, they recommended a indie guy. He came to my place, replace it with an OEM Pilkington w/ Rain sensor in about 3 hours.
Pilkington is OEM. I had my windshield replaced, and it's the same as the other windows minus the Audi Rings.
Pilkington and Sekurit are the brands you want to go for. Pilkington is Canadian and Sekurit is German. lots of other cheap glass out there that is going to suck. try to request a brand of glass.
Also interesting to see the windshield glass is Pilkington and to my suprise, no VW logo. Can any European friends verify if this is an aftermarket windshield or original?
Just replaced my windshield. Ordered OEM at the dealership, installer picked it up and installed it a few days later. No issues at all with the \u201cnanny functions\u201d and he did an awesome job. He let me watch and bug him the whole time.
The glass I chose was Pilkington. Don\u2019t use Safelite unless they offer Sekurit or Pilkington. There is a difference in quality. I know Pilkington uses a laminate that reduces sound. They also had an option for a tint strip at the top but didn\u2019t choose it. I had Safelite glass on my 04.5 Jetta GLI which I replaced with an OEM VW windshield and noticed an immediate reduction in wind and road noise and it is much more resistant to rock chips.
Your best bet is going to a local independent shop that specializes in euro cars. Ask them to find you a Sekurit or Pilkington part.
