My windsheild is toast,
Convinced Geico to override policy and approve an OEM product from the AUDI dealer, GEICO had wanted to replace with cheaper aftermarket ( yeah right ) they changed tune when I explained to them that it's not fair to diminish the value of the car by not providing OEM replacement parts.
The markings on my broken windshield are as follows in the lower driver side corner:
OOOO
SIGLA
43 R 001039
AS 1 M 73-3 DOT 25
VSG Tinted
2 ....
And an E1 in a circle.
It seems this was the orignal Windshield from production, seems that the dealer cannot guarantee that SIGLA will be the replacement brand name glass but the Glass will be OEM Spec and the 4 rings will be present.I want it done right & I think by going with the AUDI dealer endorsed tech it will be all good - they require you to leave the car overnight to set and it is replaced at a collisision center. Any one have any expreience with windshield replacement? Thoughts?
