So the autoglass repairer did turn up on time, but with the wrong glass.
The one he had brought with him was for the facelift model. Good news was, it was an OEM replacement, which turns out they got it from Audi. They said even after giving them the chassis number, they still supplied him with the wrong part! (Typical of audi parts - useless)
The fitter knew straight away that the car being a 61 plate was the last of the pre-facelift and said his was for the facelift model. I understand the confusion as when I ordered the car, the dealer and I thought I'd be getting the facelift, which turns out I didn't in the end as Audi uk said no.
Back to the waiting game now, don't know when they are coming, he said it would be an OEM glass, but I bet it won't be now
(always that Sod's law!) however he did ask if I wanted the OEM one or theirs. Obviously OEM so I'm happy to wait, but like most of these things, watch them bring the crappier version. Insurers don't like paying for genuine parts.
I hate insurers! I pay my money but they don't want to supply the parts when things go wrong! (I'm unable to take it to Audi, as they only use autoglass)
Fingers crossed...it gets done at the weekend and with the OEM glass. I'll be very chuffed. (The guy said the new audis are very easy to replace and rarely have problems with them after the work is done)
I'm not p***ed off, just thought ill share my experience. Cars drivable, feel reassured the work is simple so my pride and joy wont be harmed in the process, OEM screen on the cards.
