I just replaced 2 windshields on the S8's - quite a bit less expensive than anticipated.

When that factory closeout was announced several months ago I ordered 2 windshields for $99 ea, knowing I'd have to pay to get them installed. The local dealer's parts dept must have screwed up because when I called to pick them up I got some story that they couldn't get them and had no record of my order.

I recently responded to a Groupon for a windshield replacement and w/o buying a Groupon they sold me new factory windshields for $160 ea installed. They showed up at my home today and are finishing up the 2nd one right now. When these cars had full comprehensive insurance coverage, I think I had a $100 deductible for glass anyway - this was a lot cheaper than I expected...

        Ahh... I see now. The Pre Face Lift windshield fits also except it comes with the mirror mount.  -  NoC  2014-08-18 01:09:03 (203 views)
        
        Correct - and you can remove the mount but a small disc remains.   -  skiracer13  2014-08-18 09:54:17 (161 views)
