Windshield Pilkington or OEM Audi

The windshield on my A6 C5 original from factory lasted 19 years until a rock about the size of a bouncy ball flew off a semi and hit me on the freeway. Through the years it had been pelted countless times by different kinds of debris.

Pilkington was a good 3rd party option that i ended up with and has held up very very well.

I have a 2019 A4. Had my windshield replaced by Safelite with Audi factory glass, they calibrated it, and it was perfect.

Just had my windshield replaced ~4 days ago at the local Windshield shop..(location in north-central Maryland). Aftermarket glass (Pilkington = ...large UK glass company, owned by Japanese NSG group, which I am familiar with from living in the UK for a number of years.) The windshield was installed for $375 on my 2017 Alltrack S... (so no recalibration/software updates).

I regularly see Pilkington on Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar vehicles

Safelite replaced our windshield with the same Pilkington glass you have. It’s been perfect so far. 6 weeks and zero problems. This Pilkington glass seems to be a bit stronger than the Subaru glass as well. It’s taken a few small rocks with no damage whatsoever.

Pilkington is the only maker I know of that still makes them. I got one 3 years back.

I put an aftermarket Pilkington windshield in mine and have no problems with it.

It’s so incredibly frustrating how easy it is for these windshields to crack. My 2013 a5 is so prone to tiny rocks cracking the windshield

Pilkington, worn out in 2 years to matt surface spots, 1 set of Bosch wipers, rarely used (3-5 times a year).
