:cry: Bugger!!! :cry:

 

My windscreen was hit by a stone this morning, swung up by a lorry...

 

I had a look once it hit and thought, that was a lucky one...!!

 

Well, I got that wrong!!! My wife found the screen was now cracked all across the bottom....

 

Anyone have recommendations on who to use???

 

Before you ask I am full comp. I think I've got £50 excess windscreen on my policy.... (Bl**dy hope so, anyway!!)

 

 

Cheers

Hi Ben,

 

Yeah, you've probably got it covered if you're fully comp. I don't think you'll have a choice though, as your insurance company will probably tell you who to use.

just hope you have a UK spec then, cos a replacement screen will be UK spec which is a different colour tint to jap spec, looks silly having multicoloured windows tbh :(

Hi Ben

Got a quote from RAC a few months ago for about £170 or £200 cant remember which but worth a try(top tint)

It's not the cost you need to worry about, it's the damage they'll do to your paint and trim taking it out!!! Make sure you watch them like a hawk, whoever does it.:( If they scratch to metal whilst cutting it out, you'll not see it once the new screen is in, but in a few months you'll know, when the rusting starts, *******s have done this to me before on previos cars!!

Cheers Stu!!

Ben,

 

I've had my front screen replaced 3 (maybe 4) times and although they could do damage, I have never had that problem. It does take a good dew hours and you cant drive the car for a few hours after they have finished.

Do you have windscreen cover?

I used these, £200 and took them 2.5 hours to fit,

just remeber to sort the dash peel out after they take the screen out and before they put a new one in ;)

Is there a write up on that somewhere?? Is it easy to do?? (obviously once the screen is out!!) but from the perspective of doing the 'sticking down' etc.....

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

Matty.

I haven't got any!!! :D Dash peel that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Ben

DOH!

 

 

I am sure you can get it cheaper than the £1000.

 

I remember a thread a few years ago about it and people said the £1000 was terrible.

 

I think Ajay have had a windscreen or 2.
