I would still say it would be a Solaglass one. I asked the same and was told it was OEM when clearly after a bit of research it isn't. Can't believe Maidstone want three hours labour though... :audibash:[/quote]

I can't fault Maidstone Audi, new front DRC, secondary radiator and TPMS sensor all replaced FOC with no hassle this year, that's why I was so surprised with the cost to replace the windscreen.

Sounds like they are trying to make something back out of you, they must be seriously out of pocket after that lot FOC...
