Guys,
I need to replace my windshield for my 2012 a6 c7 prestige without HUD & without driver assist.
All I have is the blind spot detection with backup camera.
Which glass I need to order? or make sure audi dealership orders?
4G0845099NVB - w/o HUD, w/o Driver Assist??
is there any re-calibration needed?
The rain sensors come glued on the oem audi glass , so all they need is to hook it up?

Strange thing today while getting my windshield replaced. According to Audi, a 2013 MY Prestige with HUD needs 4G0845099HNVB.
However, when Safelight shows up with genuine Audi OEM glass with that part number, it fits fine at the bottom but the width at the very top is almost 2" larger than my 2013 will accommodate. Very bizarre.
Anyone ever heard of this? The cracked windshield is 48" wide at the top vs. almost 50" on the supposed replacement.
I always found it interesting that 2012 model A6's used different glass (4G0845099BNVB), anyone have an idea as to why this is? They are C7's after all.
Is it possible there was a windshield size change implemented sometime after 2012?
