Windshield replacement.

[Hoffman Anthony J A1C 552 CMS/MXMVC]

I worked at a glass shop for about 2 years, and I'll let you know there are
a number of windshields available, and all have to meet the same minimum
requirements (I think DOT makes these. Audi more than likely buys their
glass from one of these manufacturers anyhow, as they do gauges(VDO), seats
(Recaro), etc.
There are two good urethane companies that are used by 95% of car
manufacturers. They are Essex and Siekens. These two share the market about
50/50.

Hi Y'all,

I have an appointment for tomorrow (Thursday) morning to replace a cracked 
windshield on my urS6.  (Caught a rock during a snowstorm a couple of 
months ago.)  My inclination at this moment is to accept only glass with 
the four ring logo on it.  Are there other acceptable substitutes?
