Windshield Pilkington or OEM Audi

I got OEM glass and my dealership told me to go to Safelite. I paid my glass deductible only. All my recalibrations are holding up for 2+ years.

Just make sure to say you want OEM glass, not whatever aftermarket one they might try to force you into.

Gonna be at least $2k+ for OEM windshield. They have to calibrate it again that’s why. Aftermarket is probably $1k or less but I don’t recommend getting an aftermarket one. Go OEM.

Pilkinton/AGC are mighty fine.

My relative works for AGC (a direct competitor) and calls the glass “very good”. Moreover, I have it on my Corolla and I see no difference to the OEM. Actually, I’d argue much better than the EU original Sisecam.

I would definitely avoid Fuyao.

The final windshield was a Pilkington and it’s still going strong. It even took a strike outside of Vegas with a rock the size of a nickel. The Pilkington was installed by an independent installer and there was no problem with the eyesight.

I have Pilkington on my last 2 vehicles. I haven't had any issues with the quality of glass, waves, or rainbowing.

got an exact OEM replacement glass with all the sensors, etc back working 100% perfect with no issues now after 2.5 years with that replacement.

Pilkington has been slacking lately. They usually are great

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.
