Wait until you attempt to replace the rear screen.
Two screens fitted two screens exploded when you put the demister on.
Eventually put the original back in.
See page 3 titled shattered rear windscreen.

Good timing, indeed I have. The top and bottom integrated seals made things a bit tricky.

Dimensions as follows (approx/best reckoning) in mm:
A 1453
B 1145
C 804
D 893
E 904

Thanks for that mate.
I had a new screen and plastic water deflector installed a few months ago and I am not happy with it.
I now have 3 stone chips in the screen so another screen is going to be installed.
I want to get it right this time for obvious reasons.

Dimension E and C are the measurements I am particularly interested in.
I wonder is the Rs6 screen is different to the A6 screen.

Auto glass provided my front and rear screens.
I was also unhappy with the fitting.
Ended up with a gap at the bottom of the screen and the dashboard. Causing vibration noise. Inserted rubber packing to eliminate the noise which was driving me nuts.
The installer didn’t remove all of the old bonding. Put new bond on top of what was left of the old.
Hence the new screen doesn’t sit back far enough.

I would only get a screen supplied and fitted by Audi. If they are even still available.
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

Yes shopp. I am going to Audi this time.
After two rear screens exploding. Put the original rear screen back in.
And the front screen is not perfect.
This all started to rectify some paint bubbling of the roof rails. I was really happy with the bodywork and paintwork.
The screens was a big letdown.
But it will get sorted.

Ps lander who supplied your screen and what did they charge you.

Just as I thought. The new screen that was fitted is too short.
Will contact Audi on Monday and see if they can get one.

Neither, my screen is fine (for now). The screen is in stock (5 or 6) at the national the Audi genuine parts warehouse, got this one down off the racks just to measure up for you. Pilkingtons is printed on the screen.
