Not really.
I have just replaced the windshield on my 200 with the American
made PPG. The quality is top shelf. The colour band on the top is
wider than on the OEM glass, which is good too. Was $325
installed.

BTW some people reported problems with the the wavy, distorted
OEM replacement glass from Audi. Go figure.

BTW- I don't have an antennae in mine so that doesn't matter

I've been offered this glass (5000-spec) for $225 installed but
elected to go with the 200-spec glass coz the VIN window in the
200 glass is located in the different spot and the VIN would've
been obscured.
