Audi A5 Windshield Replacement & Auto Glass Service
The Right Glass for Your Audi A5
Since its introduction in 2007, the Audi A5 has grown from a two-door Coupe into a broader model family that has included Coupe, Cabriolet and five-door Sportback configurations.
The A5 entered its second generation in 2016 and received another significant update for the 2020 model year. More recently, Audi reshaped the A5 lineup again, using the A5 name for its new generation of combustion-powered midsize models previously represented by the A4 and A5 families.
Those changes make accurate vehicle identification particularly important when an Audi A5 needs auto glass service. Model year, generation, body style and installed equipment can all affect the appropriate replacement glass.
Auto Glass Now provides Audi A5 windshield repair and replacement, along with side window, door glass and rear auto glass replacement.
With more than 30 years in the auto glass industry and hundreds of locations nationwide, Auto Glass Now can help identify the appropriate glass and installation requirements for your Audi A5.
Why Audi A5 Windshield Replacement Requires the Right Glass
An Audi A5 windshield may do considerably more than protect the passenger compartment from wind and road debris.
Depending on model year and equipment, A5 models can incorporate driver-assistance technology that uses a camera positioned behind the windshield. Some A5 configurations also offer a head-up display that projects information into the driver's field of vision.
That means replacement glass should be identified for the specific A5 rather than by model name alone.
Providing your Audi A5 VIN before service helps Auto Glass Now identify the model year, body configuration and vehicle equipment and determine the appropriate replacement windshield.

Auto Glass Now installs Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) automotive glass. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) glass may also be available upon request when permitted by your insurance coverage.
Audi A5 Windshield Cameras and ADAS Calibration
Driver-assistance technology is an important consideration when replacing the windshield on an equipped Audi A5.
Audi driver-assistance systems can use a camera located behind the windshield to monitor the road ahead. Depending on model year and equipment, A5 driver-assistance features can include systems such as Audi pre sense, adaptive cruise control, lane guidance and other assistance technologies.
When a windshield-mounted camera is present, windshield replacement can affect the camera's relationship to the road and vehicle.
Qualifying Audi A5 models may therefore require ADAS calibration following windshield replacement so supported driver-assistance equipment can operate as intended.
Auto Glass Now can identify the vehicle and installed equipment before service and determine whether qualifying ADAS calibration is appropriate for your Audi A5.
Audi A5 Windshield Replacement by Generation & Body Style
The Audi A5 has changed considerably since its 2007 debut.
The first two generations established the A5 as Audi's Coupe, Cabriolet and Sportback family. Audi's more recent model strategy significantly changed that formula by expanding the A5 name into the company's broader combustion-powered midsize lineup.
2008–2017 Audi A5
The first-generation Audi A5 made its debut in 2007, initially as a Coupe.
Audi subsequently expanded the family with the A5 Cabriolet and A5 Sportback, creating several distinct body configurations under the A5 name.
For replacement auto glass, body style is particularly important. Coupe, Cabriolet and Sportback models have different rooflines, doors, side-window arrangements and rear-body designs.
Providing the VIN, model year and body style helps Auto Glass Now identify the specific first-generation A5 before replacement glass is selected.
2018–2019 Audi A5
The second-generation A5 brought a redesigned body and updated vehicle technology while continuing the Coupe, Cabriolet and Sportback configurations.
Changes in vehicle electronics and available driver-assistance systems make equipment identification increasingly important on these vehicles, particularly when windshield replacement is needed.
The exact model year, body style and installed equipment should be confirmed before replacement glass is ordered.
2020–2025 Audi A5
Audi substantially updated the second-generation A5 for the 2020 model year.
The refreshed lineup retained the A5 Sportback, Coupe and Cabriolet while adding updated exterior styling, infotainment and driver-assistance technology.
Some configurations offer a head-up display that projects vehicle information into the driver's field of vision. Available driver-assistance equipment also makes it important to determine whether a windshield-mounted camera is present before windshield replacement.
Because equipment varies by vehicle, the VIN and exact A5 configuration should be identified before replacement glass is selected.
2026 and Newer Audi A5
The newest A5 represents one of the biggest changes in the history of the nameplate.
As part of a broader model strategy, Audi moved its next generation of combustion-powered midsize vehicles under the A5 name. In the United States, the new A5 is offered as a sedan-style model with a rear liftgate, replacing the previous A4 Sedan and A5 Sportback positioning within Audi's lineup.
The new model is built on Audi's Premium Platform Combustion architecture and introduces a substantially different body, interior and electronics architecture from the previous A5.
Current A5 models can also offer advanced driver-assistance equipment and a head-up display, making accurate identification of windshield equipment particularly important.
Because the newest A5 differs substantially from earlier Coupe, Cabriolet and Sportback models, the model year and exact vehicle should always be confirmed before windshield replacement glass is selected.
Audi A5 Coupe, Cabriolet & Sportback Auto Glass
Few things illustrate the importance of accurate A5 identification better than its different body styles.
Earlier A5 generations have been offered as:
A5 Coupe
A5 Cabriolet
A5 Sportback
The Coupe uses a fixed roof and two-door body configuration, while the Cabriolet uses a convertible roof and a different side-window and rear-body design. The Sportback combines four doors with a large rear liftgate.
Those differences can affect side windows, door glass and rear auto glass even among A5 models from the same generation.
The newest A5 changes the formula again, making the model year especially important when identifying replacement glass.
Auto Glass Now can use the VIN, model year and body configuration to help determine the appropriate glass before service.
Audi A5 Side Window & Rear Auto Glass Replacement
Windshield damage isn't the only reason an Audi A5 may need auto glass service.
Accidents, break-ins, road debris and other impacts can damage side windows, door glass or rear auto glass. Auto Glass Now provides replacement for Audi A5 side and rear glass in addition to windshield service.
Body style is especially important on the A5 because Coupe, Cabriolet and Sportback models use different window and rear-body configurations.
The appropriate replacement glass can depend on generation, model year, body style, glass position and vehicle equipment.
Side and rear glass damage can also require a different approach than windshield damage. While some windshield chips may be repairable, shattered side or rear glass generally requires replacement.
Auto Glass Now can identify the damaged glass, determine the appropriate replacement and professionally install the new glass.
Windshield Repair vs. Replacement for an Audi A5
Not every damaged Audi A5 windshield needs to be replaced.
Windshield repair may be appropriate when damage is relatively small, contained and located where it can be safely repaired. Repair can preserve the existing windshield and help prevent the damage from spreading.
Windshield replacement may be recommended when:
The crack is large or continues spreading
Damage is too deep or extensive for safe repair
There are three or more chips
Damage affects an area where repair isn't appropriate
The windshield cannot otherwise be safely repaired
Windshield-mounted technology can also be an important consideration when evaluating damage on equipped A5 models.
The age or generation of the vehicle doesn't automatically determine whether windshield damage can be repaired. The size, depth, location and overall condition of the damage still need to be evaluated.
Auto Glass Now offers free windshield inspections to help determine which option is appropriate for your Audi A5.
Audi A5 Auto Glass Replacement and Insurance
Comprehensive auto insurance may cover Audi A5 windshield, side window or rear glass damage depending on your policy, deductible, insurance provider and the cause of the damage.
Because windshield requirements and glass costs can vary across A5 generations, body styles and equipment configurations, Auto Glass Now can help identify the appropriate replacement glass before work begins.
Auto Glass Now accepts all auto insurance and can help verify your coverage and manage the insurance claim from start to finish. Coverage and deductibles vary by policy and insurance provider, and you are responsible for any applicable deductible.

Auto Glass Now can provide an estimate after identifying your vehicle and determining the appropriate replacement windshield.
Are all Audi A5 windshields the same?
No. Audi has produced multiple generations and body configurations of the A5 since the model debuted in 2007.
Replacement windshields should be identified for the specific model year and vehicle equipment rather than assuming glass is interchangeable across A5 models.
Does an Audi A5 have a camera in the windshield?
Some Audi A5 models equipped with driver-assistance technology use a camera positioned behind the windshield.
Equipment varies by model year and configuration, so the specific vehicle should be checked before windshield replacement.

An Audi A5 equipped with supported windshield-mounted driver-assistance technology may require ADAS calibration after windshield replacement.
Auto Glass Now can determine whether qualifying ADAS calibration is appropriate after identifying the vehicle and its installed equipment.
Does the Audi A5 have a head-up display?
Some Audi A5 configurations offer a head-up display that projects information into the driver's field of vision.
Availability varies by generation, model year and equipment package, making the exact vehicle important when replacement windshield glass is identified.
What body styles has the Audi A5 been available in?
Earlier generations of the Audi A5 have included Coupe, Cabriolet and five-door Sportback models.
These body styles have different door, side-window and rear-body configurations, which is especially important when identifying replacement side or rear auto glass.
What is the difference between the Audi A5 Coupe and Sportback?
The traditional A5 Coupe uses a two-door body with a fixed roof, while the A5 Sportback uses four doors and a large rear liftgate.
Because their body designs differ, side and rear auto glass should be identified for the specific body style.
What is the difference between the Audi A5 Cabriolet and Coupe?

The different roof and body configurations result in different side-window and rear-body designs, making body style important when replacement auto glass is needed.

Larger or spreading cracks, multiple areas of significant damage or damage that cannot be safely repaired may require windshield replacement. Auto Glass Now offers a free inspection to help determine the appropriate service.
