Default I wouldn't do it..

the quality is no where near the same as OEM. Goto your local autobody shop and have them order the OEM. Thats sorta like getting your muffler replaced from Meineke (spelling). they use those generic muffler/pipes and quality sucks.

Default only do it if they use OEM Audi windshields

Zippy (Julia) had a bad experience with an OEM replacement, they don't fit correctly.

Default They left a lot of black goo on door panel and leather seat of my Jeep GC

Insurance covered it (no deductible) because there was a crack bigger than a dolla' bill.

Yes, had to yell at them to come out and correctly align the w/s after their first botched attempt.
