  1. First Generation (1999-2006): The Audi TT Roadster made its debut in 1999, shortly after the launch of the TT Coupe. It featured a distinctive Bauhaus-inspired design with rounded contours and a retractable fabric roof. The first-generation TT Roadster became an instant hit and helped establish Audi as a leading luxury car manufacturer.
  2. Second Generation (2007-2014): In 2007, Audi introduced the second generation of the TT Roadster. It retained the iconic design elements of its predecessor but received updates to its exterior styling and interior technology.

Windshield Replacement Options and Manufacturers

When it comes to windshield replacement for the Audi TT Roadster, there are a few options available. Audi recommends seeking professional assistance from authorized dealers or certified service centers to ensure proper installation and fitment. These service centers typically source windshields from reputable glass manufacturers. While the specific companies may vary, some well-known manufacturers of automotive glass include:

  1. Saint-Gobain Sekurit
  2. Pilkington
  3. Fuyao Glass
  4. Guardian Industries
  5. PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works)

These companies are known for producing high-quality windshields that meet industry standards for safety and durability.

ADAS Features and Recalibration

The Audi TT Roadster is equipped with several advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) designed to enhance safety and convenience. While the availability of specific features can vary depending on the model year and optional packages, the TT Roadster may include features such as:

  1. Lane Departure Warning (LDW): This system alerts the driver when the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without using the turn signal.
  2. Forward Collision Alert (FCA): FCA uses sensors to detect potential frontal collisions and warns the driver to take appropriate action to avoid or mitigate an impact.
  3. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): ACC maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting the TT Roadster’s speed to match traffic conditions.
  4. Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): BSM uses sensors to monitor the vehicle’s blind spots and alerts the driver if there’s a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
  5. Audi Pre Sense: This system can detect potential collisions and activate measures to mitigate their effects, such as pre-tensioning seat belts and closing windows.

In the event of windshield replacement, it is crucial to recalibrate the ADAS systems to ensure their proper functioning. Recalibration is typically done using specialized equipment and software, and it is recommended to have it performed by trained technicians at authorized Audi service centers. They have the necessary expertise to perform the recalibration accurately, aligning the sensors and cameras to the newly installed windshield. This ensures the ADAS features continue to operate as intended and maintain the highest level of safety.
