Is CARLEX a manufacturer of OEM Windshield Glass?
Hi Everyone,
So, I am just a little confused. My windshield got hit by a rock and had a little star that turned into a crack all the way across, so I went to Satellite to get it replaced. They offered me their aftermarket windshield but I let them know that I wanted OEM glass and I would pay the difference from what insurance would pay for after market.
I had the windshield installed and it looks great, but I noticed that below the little Audi logo on the lower right hand corner, it says CARLEX, and I am wondering if this windshield is actually OEM?
I don't recall what the other one said, and regret not taking a picture so I want to reach out to you all to find out if I did in fact, get OEM glass?
When I googled CARLEX, there was no mention of making windshields for AUDI.
Please advise and thank you.

Hi guardian(oem windshield for audis) has been taken over by carlex which includes takeover of guardians oem business including Audi. I just learnt about this today as I had similar circumstances and my oem windshield (guardian) was replaced with a Carlex windshield as I had requested for an oem replacement
