[s-cars] C5 A6 wet footwell resolved

[Lee Levitt]

I've had an ongoing water problem in my '99 A6. All drains work fine.

Turns out the cowl trim was not properly mounted. On the right side, it 
had worked out of the channel in the windshield trim. Water was running 
down the windshield, under the cowl trim and into the cabin filter 
housing. Why don't they have a lid on that filter, like they do on the 
C4 A6?

Anyway, Donny Cotton from the Village Glassmith just installed a new 
windshield and properly set the cowl trim back into the retaining channel.

I do not expect to have any further water problems. Fingers crossed!

By the way, he installed an insulated windshield, on my request. I'm 
curious to find out whether it has a negative effect on my V1 
radar/laser performance or on my EZ Pass...

I've mentioned Donny before.. If you need a windshield replaced, and 
you're in the Boston area, he's the guy. He knows Audis, he makes sure 
not to scrape the paint under the windshield when he removes the old 
glass, he primes the entire area to ensure no rust, and he does neat, 
quality work.

He's replaced 6 or 8 windshields for me. Highly recommended!
