Audi Windshield or PPG
A rock just caused a crack in my windshield.
The place that's going to replace my glass said I have a choice between Audi's glass and PPG.
Which would you choose?
TIA,
Terry

go with the audi glass...
I just changed mine a few months ago and I made a mistake and went with the PPG glass. The glass has a weird shape to it and it doesnt seem to fit well.

Re: Audi Windshield or PPG
My windshield has so many minor distortions that I'm tempted to break it just to put in a decent piece of glass. You should go with whatever glass and company offers the best warranty for parts (includnig being free from distortion) and labor. Get it in writing, too.
Also, be sure that they install it properly as the windshield is an important structural support part for your roof, especially in case of rollover.

I'm very pleased with my PPG replacement glass.
Less distortion than the OEM glass. I've had 2 "oh ****" moments where rocks have hit the glass and haven't left a mark (knock on wood.) Time will tell on the durability aspect though...
