Only if you go to Anchor Audi for service! lol :)

Chances are when you go in for service the mechanic will see it and order another one. Or when you make make your appointment, tell them you noticed it was cracked while cleaning the car and would like them to order you a new one. Either one should work

Just make sure the two surfaces mesh (one not higher than other)...then OK ..

water will run off of plastic shield way it is suppose to....not a big deal.

You too?

At least I wasn't the only one.
I did the same thing this weekend.

Of course if they said to remove the wipers & plastic cover FIRST...

I guess I'll get a replacement.
