I have an 18. I've had my windshield replaced. Replacement glass from Pilkington, made at same factory as the original VW glass. Was around $300-400 installed. No camera calibration required.
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.
I've noticed a similar problem with the windshield in my 09 CC. Both the stock windshield and the replacement one (an oem VW replacement) that they put in after my accident have like a rippling effect to them that's noticeable when your looking out towards the passenger's side when making a turn. The ripples go from side to side.
Yes I too have experienced the windshield cracking right down the center from the top behind the rearview mirror. The dealer told me that it must have been a rock but there was definitely no point of impact and it cracked while parked in a parking lot at work.
I had a Pilkington windshield installed a few weeks ago. I agree, the fitment isn't the greatest. On the OEM and Guardian I had. I could fit my sunshade between the glass and dash, no such luck on the Pilkington.
