Cracked Front Screen

Post by funkygibbo » Thu May 31, 2012 6:25 pm

B*!!ocks.................... Stone flew up, hit right behind the tax disc, by the time I arrived home bloody big crack running up to the top of the screen.

Anyone got thoughts on a replacement, covered on insurance with £75 excess but wondering if better off looking elsewhere?

Just make sure its OEM and don't be fobbed of that Autoglass etc will fit one because invariably they won't.

Best go to your local Audi dealer to get replaced.

Mine went last year on the way to the Ring, Bexley Audi supplied and fitted one for £300.00, Autoglass wanted £600.00 for a non OEM one.

Similar problem at the weekend. Crack repaired by the Newcastle Auto Windscreen guy. Excellent job.
He showed me the replacement screen which is thinner than other manufactures, he reconned that is why there are issues with a lot of Audi screens.
