I have a $0 deductible on windshield replacement and while I still had my B8.5 allroad, I noticed that somehow the corner of my glass, right by the firewall/fender was chipped (wish I knew how that happened). Called State Farm and put a claim in, with me insisting on Pilkington/OE windshield. Once I had my windshield replaced and was driving home, I suddenly noticed I could visibly see frits (the tiny dots) on the bottom of my windshield by my dash, along with very very slight warping/bending. I checked the brand and it was "Fuyao".
I called the local glass place and they said they were told to install Fuyao glass. I explained to them what I was noticing compared to my OE glass, they said they would take everything from there and handle insurance for me. Without me even picking up the phone to call State Farm, they told me to come back about a week or two later and got an Audi-stamped windshield installed. They were able to say that my windshield was a safety concern since it could affect my rain sensor, and they even installed a brand new rain sensor (not just gel) along with fixing the back-side of the mirror trim I had previously broke. Needless to say I returned with a dozen donuts and a 5-star review for them. I let my family know to go to them for anything windshield-related and I'll be returning if I ever have windshield issues in the future.
