Windshield OEM Audi or OEM Volvo
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
Only volvo glass. Any other brand will either leak or the radar will not work properly
Pros: no leaks, radar works properly
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
If your car has HUD then check that the after market windshields do not blur the HUD display. On Volvos the aftermarket windshields blur the HUD image.
Cons: blurry HUD image
Vehicle:
Volvo

Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement needed
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
