May have been a small chip there, but the quick change in temperature would have caused it.
Autoglass are very hit and miss (as are auto windscreens). The sensors are easy as they're glued on with a sort of silicon sealant thing that peels off. If your insurers will allow it, get it done at Audi.

The thing is that some dealers outsource windscreen fitting to third parties including autoglass.

Same thing happened to our a6 after being left parked in the sun all day - small chip turned into an mot fail crack - that was after it'd been 'repaired' about 3 months earlier on the insurance
Defo worth going with personal recommendation locally for replacement. If local dealer does their own or has someone trustworthy for an '8 it'd be worth checking

If mine broke I'd try and get an upgrade to the heat reflecting one.
I have done this with previous cars.
