Windshield OEM Audi or CARGLASS
With HUD it’s always better to get OEM glass so you don’t deal with distortion of the image.
Pros: no image distortion, better with HUD
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
I got OEM glass and my dealership told me to go to Safelite. I paid my glass deductible only. All my recalibrations are holding up for 2+ years.
Pros: recalibrations holding up, long-term reliability
Just make sure to say you want OEM glass, not whatever aftermarket one they might try to force you into.
Pros: OEM glass recommended
Cons: aftermarket glass not recommended
Vehicle:
Audi S8
Gonna be at least $2k+ for OEM windshield. They have to calibrate it again that’s why. Aftermarket is probably $1k or less but I don’t recommend getting an aftermarket one. Go OEM.
Pros: OEM recommended
Cons: aftermarket not recommended, expensive
Vehicle:
Audi S6
got an exact OEM replacement glass with all the sensors, etc back working 100% perfect with no issues now after 2.5 years with that replacement.
Pros: working 100% perfect, no issues
Vehicle:
Audi Q8
I had the windshield on my S5 replaced a couple years ago and the non Audi brand “OEM equivalent” windshield the shop installed first messed up the image, it was a double image out of focus. When they replaced it with the Audi branded OEM windshield the heads up was good again.
Pros: correct HUD image
Vehicle:
Audi S5
I got my windshield repaired 2 weeks ago in switzerland and you can still see the dent, it looks like a small hole and the guy from Carglass said that its normal it stays like this, they dont replace the whole windshield when its a small dent, they repair it instead
Cons: dent still visible
J\u00e1 a Carglass n\u00e3o correu bem. O p\u00e1ra-brisas que meteram tem umas ondas. Nada que se note de imediato mas ao mexer ligeiramente a cabe\u00e7a em andamento nota-se logo. Diria que mesmo sendo um p\u00e1ra-brisas Saint-Gobain, est\u00e1 longe da qualidade original.
Cons: umas ondas, longe da qualidade
Wenn CarGlass dann frag‘ bitte dringend ob die alles hinkriegen - inklusive kalibrieren der Kamera etc.. Hier vor Ort können die fast nix davon bei Japanern.
Kürzlich falsche Scheibe installiert und Head-up-Display dadurch nicht mehr lesbar.
Cons: falsche Scheibe installiert
my Audi A6 got which I had for 7 years got 2 in one week.
Cons: two cracks in one week
Vehicle:
Audi A6
