Admiral/Elephant/Bell etc.. charge £20 now since they changed to National Windscreens from Autoglass. I just had a new one fitted yesterday for £75 excess. In the past I have always insisted on genuine VAG glass to Autoglass and always got one as I have found other glass to be too distorted. I have had repairs in the past and not been impressed as they were in my line of sight and could be seen as imperfections.
After an hour of calls to National Windscreens HQ and Admiral UK & even India, they refused to fit Audi glass as the car is over 3 years old. They were also going to fit a non-Acoustic one, but I got them on that one. I wanted a heat reflective one and said I had one before it was last changed, but they said that their supplier doesn't make them anymore, but would get a genuine one but only if I already had one (which I didn't).
They did a good job of fitting it but the only problem now, is I'm sure the gap at the top of the glass to roof is bigger, but then the VIN sticker is centred in the window, so maybe I'm just imagining it, or maybe they cleaned out the gap so it's more noticeable.
