Windshield question

[CDN BCN]

hello everyone,

Yesterday one of the major glass repair/replace companies replaced my windshield... i had asked for OEM and received this ... do the symbols replace the words we're use to seeing?? i'm worried they installed sub-par equipment :(.

Pic doesn't work for me, but Fuyao is Audi's OEM supplier for your S4, their logo is a squatty diamond with a stylized 'FY' in the middle.

OEM suppliers can sell the exact windshield, but it cannot bear the Audi logo unless they pay for it, and it's expensive- around $300 difference once it gets to the consumer. For this reason most people choose the unbranded windshield. But other than the branding they are 100% the same

Some good info in here that I didn't know about, definitely read through here for some additional info.

+1 all automotive glass is required to meet a certain standard hence they are all the same bar the company branding.

thank you, i did see that post on a windshield change gone bad... that's why i'm worried about my glass. the company installed a pilkington EZ-Kool Ultra windshield... according to the manufactures website, the ultra series is there top line with all the bells and whistles... including sound proofing... thank you for the posts :)

They installed the same on my car recently, and I am pretty sure that's what they're going to use when they replace it again next week. All of my glass has Pilkington labeling, but the windshield simply has a larger Pilkington logo than the rest and is without the Audi rings. No difference really.

Good info. My car is in the shop and about to have my windshield replaced and the company they use is Pilkington.

Off topic but my windshield was replaced a few months back with OEM and I didn't remember seeing a rain sensor kit. I do remember the relax enemy glass had the plastic channel already for the home link and mirror. Is there a specific way to see if the sensor is working correctly by using a water hose? I feel dumb for asking that but didn't know what the car looks for when water hits it in order to activate the wipers.

Is there a way to pull the plastic trim piece off and look for that sensor as well?

Thanks!
