I'm not sure when it was built, but the Treser ur-quattro Roadster also has 
bonded-in glass.  It has a Sport-like A-pillar and screen, with a _very_ short 
passenger compartment (ends an inch behind the seat) so it's a bit like a pick-
up with a growth hormone problem.  You would barely get an umbrella behind 
the seats.  The glass is bonded to the hard top with 2"-wide adhesive borders, 
which have now aged and gone blotchy. It looks _awful_ - even its Mom would 
retch.  We had the thing in the marquee at Coy's last year and its present 
owner was asking for offers.  I don't think anyone even asked him what ballpark 
he was looking for.
 
But I can imagine Audi looking at the bonded-in glass and saying: "Well, that's 
how NOT to do it."
