The day after I did the spraying of the scuttles as per a previous thread, I drove to work 5.5 miles and parked up safely at 8am.

At about 10.30am I walked past the car and thought what a good job I did the day before. :cool3:

At 12.30pm I got in the car and saw this bloody crack, aaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh :crying: :sad: :angry:

Where the hell did that come from?? :confused1: :confused1:

Linked to the job I did the day before??

All the panels went back as sweet as a nut with no stress on the windscreen at all.

Can Autoglass make it disappear??

Have looked at my policy and it's £50.00 xs with no affect on the ncb, so will have to go down that road, I guess.

Any other guys had new screens in? Had any problems with, etc.

that strip from Nissan main dealer comes in two pieces, the retaining part and the weather strip part that sits in it. cost from nissan £108 :blink:

 

Should be part of the insurance job and a cost I will not have to incurr - thankfully :yes: - so was my feeling I got back from the technician :clap:

Sounds like he would never of got it out without damaging methinks

Took a call tonight at 4pm, the top strip as been located and I am booked in for a Monday pm fitting :cool3:

Yes Monday came and went, the driver ran out of time but did give me the courtesy of a call well in advance.

I was re booked in for today Thursday am.

The driver did arrive and we offered up the screen over the front and concluded it was the correct size as he thought with mine being a SWB it was a touch short - it was fine :thumbup1:

Then he started talking about it being the wrong colour as I was just starting to remove the wiper arms.

The one he brought was bronze with a definite green sun strip, i deffo need the one with a blue sun strip and the glass for this is either clear/tint but he was saying it was blue, this is not an obvious blue by the way but I did notice it was different to the bronze/brown he brought with him.

I am thinking now there are two variants for Japs :confused1: because mine is a silver car I need what nissan call blue with blue sun strip.

The colour of the tint shines up better if you offer up a white A4 sheet of paper underneath, so if you want to do this and tell me what you have got?

I took a call :phone: from the boss and again there is a 4-6 week wait as another is to be sent over from Japan :censored:

Not 4-6 weeks at all :confused1: took a call out of the blue, no appointment but the driver was outside with my screen - so I rushed out and the glass is now fitted - at last :)

Could not believe it :biggrin:

 

The glass is absolutely perfect but is not NISSAN it is a Pilkington copy :clap:

 

 

The scuttle is back and wipers, just need to fit the slicktop long bit of trim now :thumbup1:

Good news at last mate, glad its all sorted
