Window Replacement

USNAS4 · 02-22-2006, 03:29 PM

Had the Rear Window of my 2005 S4 smashed in by a branch that fell out of a tree. Can anyone give me any ideas on the best place to get this fixed besides the Audi Dealer? Has anyone had any experience with Royal Auto Glass? I am located in Annapolis, MD.

Thanks in advance.

...good price, but it took them 2 days and 3 return trips to finish the job. I'd look into the major shops; Safelite, Diamond Triumph, Royal...and see what brand glass and what price they offer.
Good luck with it...and keep an eye out for a red A6, I'll always return a wave from another Audi!

That should be covered on a different level than regular comprehensive claims... Then you can take it to a dealer who will provide oem glass and sublet the work to a glass professional.

I have glass coverage but the insurance company watns me to go through their "prefered" company which is Royal. If I go to the Audi Dealer and get OEM glass I think they will still pay for it. I will have to double check that.

Thanks for the help.

Don't let them tell you its "OEM-quality" or "just like oem", those don't count.
