get it replaced, and would you use them again?

Rock hit my windshield last night, small crack didn't look like a big deal. Get in my car this morning, it has spread big time.

Default Dealer, because of warranty issues for me. I had a bad Mazda experience..

several years ago where the shield was replaced by independent installer and it leaked, causing a nightmare of electrical problems that no one wanted to own up to.

So if it has to be totally replaced, my advice is dealer. If it can be repaired, Safelite is hard to beat because they come to your house/work.
Dealer price was $580.

Default Recommendation: Don't replace with an Audi Windshield

The American made windshields are far superior to the original. They don't chip as easily and have less distortion. I believe they are cheaper as well! Get a PPG brand if possible.

Default Used them for both my Audi A4 and Porsche 993

Audi got an aftermarket US windshield due to greater rock damage/sandblasting resistance. Porsche got an OE windshield.
