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?
CMBS cameras not properly calibrated since windshield replacement. Dealer believes glass marked “Honda” will fix calibration issue because “there is too much metal” in the Pilkington glass.
Not knowing any better, I didn't specify an OEM windshield, and they installed one from Pilkington. It fit fine, and I didn't see any issues, other than not liking the shading/dot pattern around the rearview mirror as much. It was acoustic glass and it seemed to look (and sound) identical. However, my Ford dealer could not get the Lane Keeping Assist system to calibrate with it. It just wouldn't work properly, and they ended up deactivating it. Aftermarket windshield screws up Lane Keeping Assist!
They put yet another in, and it also cracked soon after. They insisted they saw an impact location at the edge of the crack and wouldn't cover replacement so I had to pay for it. I insisted they use a non-Safelite window, so they installed a Pilkington. Twice as expensive, but no problems since.
