I think I was lucky because the guy driving the van was from eastern Europe and was an Audi fan ... but the new windshield was the same manufacturer as is in my other V8Q (the glass removed for this replacement was not, I think the windshield was replaced before).  The installer knew that Audi specified a specific adhesive be used, and he made sure that he used it.  I've dealt with Safelite before (I think it was when my Fox was broken into) ... every time I got better than expected service, and with no extra fees.  

Thanks Steve for the tip.

I googled safelite and it's a real mixed bag of reviews, some good and
some bad (there is even a dedicated website of pissed safelite customers).
Anyway, looks like as of a few years ago they no longer carry OEM
windshields, and there are reports that their own windshields are
crap.  Anyway, I filled out their online quote form and it says that
a rep will contact me.  I'll see what happens.
