I think I might have found the hydrophobic coating used on the rear screen.
You may know that the early service books stated that this needed renewing every two years. Well 4 years of ownership and 5 dealers later, all of which have responded with "The less said about that the better", a quick search of ebay today has come up with this.
Item 4607923730 at the Stafford Audi ebay shop - yes it looks like at least one dealer is being procative about selling stuff - an audi part called screen coating. Theres no part number I can see but its in genuine audi packaging. Might give it a go for a fiver.
For those of you who like to replace perfectly servicable bits and pieces on your cars there is also a new rear screen - complete with spoiler for sale on ebay for £150!
You're all going to tell me you knew about this coating all along aren't you.
Cheers
Jonathan
