Windshield OEM Audi or OEM Volvo

OEM glass is slightly thicker which is more sound proof so I went that route.

Just had this done about a month ago at Auto Glass Now. OEM front window for my RS6 with recalibration was ~$2470 including tax. Allegedly the glass place said there was no after market window FWIW.

Cost me $100 co-pay for claim and had brand new OEM windshield installed and calibrated.

Since bunch of sensors in the mirror mount don’t go with SafeLite insurance bootleg glass. Get an OEM glass.

I literally just went to safelite through my insurance company last Thursday to get my windshield fixed on my A5 and I just paid my deductible and it was replaced with an OEM windshield. Easy peasy.

With HUD it’s always better to get OEM glass so you don’t deal with distortion of the image.

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.

One thing I am noticing though on a negative level is a very distinct and rather annoying whistling noise coming from the windshield (center area; rather top section at the level where the rear mirror is) starting at approximately 150kmh. I am driving often on the German Autobahn, the car is specified for high speed also - and I would simply not expect such a distinct whistling noise from a 80.000€ car.

Cost me $2000+ for Audi Original. And i wont recommend OEM.
