Hello - I unfortunately got a crack in the windshield of my 2010 Audi A4. The windshield is the original factory version with the following on the windshield:

SAINT GORBAIN SEKURIT
E20 - DOT 618 M451 AS1
43R - 00348
E000233

This windshield has rain detect, but what other features does this windshield have? I cannot find anything on this model of windshield and what features it has. I'm attempting to buy one cheaper than from the dealer, but want to ensure that I dont get a windshield that doesn't support all I need it to. There appears to be 4 factory models for this model car.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Clive

usually covered for free on your car insurance ;)

Are you using a third party fire/theft policy on your insurance? New windscreen (especially with rain sensors) can easily run into £275+ VAT plus the additional cost of fitting. The £70-80 excess on a fully comp policy actually works out very good value for money when you consider all the costs, and it doesn't count against you.
