Audi 80
The Audi 80 was a compact executive car produced by the German automaker Audi AG. It was first introduced in 1972 as a successor to the Audi F103 series. The Audi 80 underwent several generations and updates throughout its production history until it was eventually replaced by the Audi A4 in 1994.
During its production, the Audi 80 offered various options for windshield replacement. The specific options available for windshield replacement can vary depending on the year and generation of the vehicle. However, in general, replacement windshields for the Audi 80 can be obtained from authorized dealerships, auto glass repair shops, and specialized glass manufacturers.
When it comes to the manufacturers of the glass for Audi vehicles, including the Audi 80, several well-known companies produce automotive glass. Some of the prominent glass manufacturers include:
- Saint-Gobain Sekurit: They are a leading supplier of automotive glass and provide original equipment (OE) windshields for Audi vehicles, including the Audi 80.
- Pilkington: Pilkington Automotive is another major manufacturer of automotive glass and supplies windshields for Audi models.
- Guardian Industries: Guardian is a global glass manufacturer that supplies automotive glass to various car manufacturers, including Audi.
Regarding advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) features like lane departure warning, forward collision alert, and other similar technologies, it’s important to note that the Audi 80 is an older model that predates the widespread use of such systems. The Audi 80, especially the earlier generations produced in the 1970s and 1980s, did not come equipped with these advanced safety features as standard.
Recalibration requirements for windshields with ADAS features depend on the specific vehicle and its technology. However, since the Audi 80 typically does not have built-in ADAS features, recalibration is not a concern for this particular model. Recalibration is typically necessary when a windshield with ADAS features is replaced to ensure the proper functioning of the systems. However, in the case of the Audi 80, standard windshield replacement procedures can be followed without the need for recalibration related to ADAS features.
It’s worth mentioning that if you have a specific model year or generation of the Audi 80 in mind, I can provide more detailed information about its features and windshield options.
