Have a prestige trim 9.5 S5 and wear polarized sunglasses 99.9% of the time I get in the car and they\u2019ve never caused any issues with legibility for the HUD.
So, an hour and a half later I was out the door with a brand new Audi OEM windshield and ADAS calibration for $66.92, which was the price of a new set of wiper blades, totally optional.
Autoglass replaced my windshield with original VW one. Great service.
I had a similar issue, also with my vw golf GTI. Insurance also covered the repair with auto glass. They used OEM and the experience was very good.
I've had several over the years, mostly fine, some proportion variations here and there or where the black fading around the edges is and how thick it is etc, but largely okay. I'd say the biggest thing I notice is the appearance of those Little sparkly rock chips becomes easier to develop on the aftermarket glass.
10 year old A4, original windshield. I'm considering changing it because it's scratched as fuck.
There is a significant difference in quality of the glass itself. OEM vs non. I routinely see cars that come through with non oem glass that will just not calibrate after replacement.
Cost me $2000+ for Audi Original. And i wont recommend OEM.
Ive replaced 2 of these in the last 3 months on my RS3. OEM glass at the dealership both times.
Audi must have an issue with their windshield. Am on my second crack in 3 months.
