Any B8 owners ever have their windshield replaced?

A truck on the highway kicked up a stone and cracked my windshield. My car has rain-sensing wipers. Is there anything special involved regarding removing the sensor? Do they have to open up the overhead console?

I am on my 3rd window...I have rain sensing. The first replacement (stone chip) by progressive insurance was an Audi brand window in Nov 2008. Because the B8 was so new, I guess there was no alternative. That window got lots of little pits in it from the harsh winter sand/salt. The next window (replaced July 2010) PGW brand replaced by progressive seems to be an exact match. Be sure to tell the installer that you will inspect the work and you don't want any cut rubber, plastic.
