Default A-pillar dent and need a new windshield??

So I heard a loud bang today come from my garage. Heart dropped and walked into the garage to find my Golf Bag which was hanging on the wall fell and came smashing down onto my poor car.

It looks as though freakishly the bag's strap adjustment clip just broke sending the clubs onto the side of my car. The damage was mainly to my winshield which now has cracks all over it but there was some small dents to the front fender and one on the a-pillar.

Actually not alot of damage but enough to drive me up the wall. The one that worries me is the 1 small dent and scrape on the A-Pillar.

How exactly could that be repaired? Seems like a bad spot

Also curious if there is a recommended Windshield? OEM Audi or some other brand more resistant to pitting?

Thanks in advance

Default Paintless Dent Repair can work wonders. If the dent is at the bottom of the A-pillar

they might be ablt to get at it. Towards the top...less likely. But they might be able to suck it out if isn't creased.

Default I own a glass company in ma. pilkington is a good brand. as far as pitting goes all w/s are

pretty much the same on that level, just make sure whatever comp. does it that they prime the pinchweld and take off the cowling (plastic parts under the w/ wipers) if they try to just lift the wipers and slide it under everything you will not get a good seal and will possibly get wind noise shoot me an e-mail if you have any more ?'s
