Glass on EU & US models.

[Exerqtor]

I tried to order a pre-cut tint set for my 8 on ebay (us) here the other day. But i got in answer that they didn't ship to Europe because of difference in EU and US models. First i thought was that it was a policy they have because that's the general case. But is this really true regarding D2 A8's? :Confused:

I don't know 100% but i can't see there would be any differences for glass, windows or lights???

[Exerqtor]

That's the exact same thing i thought. Sure must bee someone here that actually KNOW this? :ROFL:

[Dezzy]

well it would be a competely different car bodywise if the glass was smaller or bigger. I'm going with, It's the same and i'll have to be proved wrong with the 2 different size bits of glass side by side.

It could be he just doesn't want to sell to you :)

Maybe rules on tints would be different, or the laminate construction.

There is single and double glazed, athermic and plain, heated and no heated windscreens. Last time I looked there were about 30 different windscreens!

Ok, but i'm not going to tint the windshield tho :o

Going to order up a set, then we'l see how it works out mehe +++

Yes but they are all interchangeable except maybe armoured ones. There are no specific US glasses in ETKA. The difference are in age, body length(side windows), single/twin pane, heatproffing, color and armoured and integrated antennas for rear screen. I believe that if you exclude armoured vehicles then glass shape for all D2 is the same apart from differences in SWB and LWB.

[Exerqtor]

Yeah, i pretty much assume that SWB and LWB are the only difference in "normal" vehicles my self.

Just ordered a kit now anyways. Time will show if it fits :p
