Which Windshield Does an Audi Q8 e-tron Take?
Reviewed by the Skyview Auto Glass technical team — NWRD-, ASE- and DINITROL-trained technicians · Updated November 2026
Quick answer
A 2024 Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron windshield in our records, FW06451GTYN, carries a forward camera with a static calibration, acoustic glass and a combined rain and light sensor, and it needs a rain sensor pad or optical gel. Electric Audis get their own part numbers rather than sharing with a gasoline Q8, so the model name alone is not enough.
What the 2024 Q8 Sportback e-tron glass carries
A 2024 Q8 Sportback e-tron windshield, FW06451GTYN, lists a forward camera with a static calibration, acoustic glass, and a combined rain and light sensor that drives both the automatic wipers and the automatic headlights. It needs a rain sensor pad or optical gel, the optically clear layer the sensor reads the glass through. Static means the vehicle stays still while targets are set at measured distances on a level floor, which is shop work rather than a road drive.
The combined rain and light sensor reads light refracted back through the glass, so without that pad or gel it reads the glass wrongly and the automatic wipers behave erratically. Only one of the two materials is called for, and which one applies comes off the part rather than the shelf.
The e-tron versus a gasoline Q8
2024 Q8 Sportback e-tron
- Its own part number, FW06451GTYN.
- A forward-facing camera that calls for a static calibration.
- Acoustic laminate paired with a combined rain and light sensor.
- Does not share glass with a gasoline Q8.
Gasoline Q8
- A different vehicle for glass purposes.
- Looked up separately from the VIN.
- Nothing carries over from the e-tron part.
- The model name alone does not settle it.
Electric Audis get their own part numbers. Telling us the model name is not enough, which is one more reason the VIN settles it.
Calibration is part of the job
The static calibration is quoted with the glass, and ADAS calibration runs $95 to $300 out of pocket before tax. We scan the vehicle before and after the work, and if a warning light appears we return and repeat the procedure at no charge. See our Audi windshield page.

Which windshield does an audi q8 e-tron take?
A 2024 Q8 Sportback e-tron in our records takes FW06451GTYN, with a forward camera, a static calibration, acoustic glass and a combined rain and light sensor. Electric Audis get their own part numbers, so it does not share with a gasoline Q8.
Does the audi e-tron windshield need calibration?
Yes. The 2024 part lists a static calibration, done with the vehicle stationary and targets on a level floor. That is shop work, and we tell you before you book. See what windshield calibration is.
What does an audi electric windshield cost?
A windshield replacement runs $200 to $500+ out of pocket before tax, set by the part your e-tron was built with. The static calibration is part of the job and quoted with the glass.
