Well first time they tryed to do mine, they put old trim back in. After the 4th try to get it right, they bought a a new trim with them. So check first if they supply new trim.
In my case, after the first few trys. I made them come out with me on a test , so they could here for them selfs. The windscreen rubbing/scrapping on the pillers, as you go over a slight bump or corner. (glass to metal) First cpl of times i got fobbed with " car cant be driven for so many hrs" so they cant test drive it. Amazing tho, as after the 3rd time. They said they wanted to take it for test drive, as soon as they did it, to see if they cured prob.

I had my screen replaced in May by Auto Windscreens.
Apart from the nightmare I had with the office explaining the details it went very smoothly. The guys who changed the screen were spot on. When I showed them the thread about the noisy screen, he fitted some thicker sponge he carried on the van and the windscreen trim was supplied as well. It's been fine since, and the guys did a first class job. Couldn't fault them.

Thanks for the replies guys...
No-one has the part number for the thicker sponge from Audi then? Is it even an Audi part?? Is the windscreen just bonded in place and is there a special sealant for bonding to an aluminium body? End of questions...  Thanks & regards, -=Glyn=-

Jesus wept...no wonder they call you 'Conan_the_Librariann'
<deliberate typo as you got my name wrong as well>  Can I be cheeky and ask what windscreens were available for my car please? The reason I ask is National Windscreens tell me the heated screen was never an option in the S8...I am told mine will be green on grey/no mirror boss or something like that... I really must get around to installing ETKA/ELSAWin here one day...  Thanks & kind regards, -=Glyn=-
