Default Others have had this happen on their coupes. I think a windshield is 100% repairable, good as new.

Default I had this happen to me on my 180Q and I agree that it is repairable in fact...

I was told by the ex service manager at my dealership that Porsche 911's from 92-96 had the same problems till they fixed it with a "floating glass" system. I hope Audi figures this out quicker. I am getting my new windshield next week and I am going to keep my fingers crossed.
I hope that this had nothing to do with my H&R Springs.

Default No worried?

Are you not worried about the rigidity of the car? It seems to me that TT flexes more than necessary and breaks the windscreen as a result.

Default Not at all, since I know a brand new process was used to glue to glass panes together.

It seems to me that they have bugs to work out. The TT is a VERY rigid car.
