All I can say is make sure the shop is familiar with these cars,
and doesn't just do Ferd or Cheby pick-um-up trucks.  Had the
windshield replaced on my Coupe due to a crack and it leaked
like a sieve when i got it back and parked it in a rainstorm.

 Got told today 'dealer price' for premium glass was $1100.00  =8-( 
 Calling around about glued in VW/Audi windows - "We do factory
 installations"   Actually kinda huffy about it. I was impressed!  2 quotes @
 $329.00 including molding.
