the water on your carpets condensed on the warm windshield, and then froze. Pretty normal.

don't bring as much water/slush/slop into the car on your shoes.

Kritzer you should think about coming up to Wethersfied for the Dyno day. Your car is probably close to the TB change time, and it would be good to meet some more of the guys in the area. I am planning on doing my TB at the end of Jan. first week in Feb. and if you want to do a TB GTG, it might be a good idea.

Hows the short shifter working out?

Default Could be more serious than that. Leaky leak.

When the car is warm, lift up your floor mats, in particular the passenger side front, and feel the carpet. Audis are known to leak right there. You won't notice it normally. I speak from experience. I've had this problem for months now and I have not been able to figure it out. I don't think it's my windshield (but who knows). It may have something to do with the fan/opening right there for the HVAC system. My windshield freezes on the inside now too.
