Front Window Replacement
I need to replace my front windshield and would like input in to glass quality and if there is a difference in the glass if you have a HUD.
Is the car sensitive to twisting when the window is out?
Any input would be helpful
Thanks
Chris

Yes, the HUD requires a "HUD" Windshield. Ask for an OEM windshield for the HUD. Also, the windshield does not stiffen the car, it's NOT load bearing. Think about it, if it carried a load it would break.

As glennhl stated, there is a special windshield for HUD equipped vehicles. However, many owners have added HUD and not replaced the windshield. Although some have stated the visibility of the display is somewhat decreased, many seem perfectly satisfied with the quality of the display. I understand the difference in price is quite substantial so you will have to decide if it is worth the increased cost. Search for posts in C6 General for comments on this subject.
