I replaced the windshield on my A4 when it was six months old. I had a choice of OEM glass (without the audi rings though) or another (I can't recall the name). The name of the original glass manufacturer should be printed/etched on your current windshield.
I had trouble finding the glass, because the car was only on the market for less than a year. You should not as much of a problem, since A4s are more prevalent now.
I do recall needing some trim pieces at the A-pillars. They were a dealer only item. Cost was minimal ($5 or $10 each). The trim pieces were destroyed when the windshield was removed.
Hope this helps.

Well, my S4 took a nasty rock hit on the front windshield and now it looks like it's developed a crack. The hit was about 1/4 from the edge of the glass, right up at the top...
Anyone with advice on replacement in general or from BTDT on B5-bodied A4/S4s? I'm probably just going to go through the dealer so that I get the right replacement glass and someone who's done a few of these before...
