just tried glueing down the window vent common problem so tried to fix it

 

used a wooden wedge and its cracked my windscreen im pissed off with the car! more expense

 

i spose its a case of phoneing insurance company any options

 

wish i dident bother to fix it now :slap:

Is yours a jap spec?

If it is then if you want the same tint it will cost a fortune

£1k+!! The uk models have a different tint and are reasonably

priced. Does your insurance cover the screen? Some do, some don't.

From what i've read, the uk screen will fit in a jap & vice versa.

HTH...Simon

3rd party no cover import :cry:

Oh dear...not good!

Don't bother with the big national companies for a price,

go to a small local specialist instead, the big companies

charge silly money because they do all the insurance work

and rip off the insurance companies.

EG: National comp wanted £200+ for a clear screen in a vectra!

Local comp.....£72 all in incl vat!!

Think the screens in a z are bonded in, so not much chance

of a 2nd hand one either. :cry:

got a reply from auto windscreens and they want £1200 so i told them to fook off

 

waiting for another reply now once fixed might get rid just had enough :(

if our careful you can cut out screens without any problems & reuse them, so you may be able to get a 2nd hand one.

 

non genuine screens for cars like ours tend to cost more than OEM parts :(

once fixed might get rid just had enough :(

 

How many posts have i read that in lately :(

Don't do it greg! Wait till the summer comes...roof off etc..

£200 fitted for my car, it was uk but they could get a brown tint they told me, that included the clips to fit and the bloke to drive to me,

 

he actually thought 200 was expensive so don't act surprised when he offers you that prices ;)

 

hope that helps, it was the cheapest i could find new glass for

they told me they did national when i spoke to them, phone them, you can always park up on my drive whilst they fit it as well mate if they won't come out, its not a problem, or maybe get them to ship the glass to you, the glas was about 186quid i believe

Don't give up on it mate, your's looks like a beautiful example, would be a shame to see you sell it and some twat wrap it round a tree! Besides, I've only just started modifying mine, I need hope that I can acheive the same results you and others have... :bow:

Greg,

 

Windscreens are highly discountable items ( bit like sofa`s) there is a definate price cartel in the UK concerning glass fitting to cars.

 

Trade prices are amazingly small, having asked a local windscreen company to remove a good used jap spec screen form a breaker and refit to another car they charged around £100 and later called to say they could supply brand new (brown tint ) screens for Jap spec zeds for less than £200 if I ordered a minimum of 10! bit different to £1k prices quoted elsehere.

They just clip on and dont touch teh screen.
