Oh yeah, I agree! Can't quite imagine where they've managed to get just six clips from!

Yeah he turned up with a little clear plastic Honda parts bag which had been cut open already.

Final update (I hope) last night after work I took the car down to a local windscreen fitter, just had a call to say it's all done and ready for collection! Shiny new screen, trim, clips etc.. all done.

Autoglass, you're doing it wrong.

Did Autoglass agree to pay costs for someone else doing it then?

So your local fitters were able to do it under the insurance were they?

Yes mate, £70 excess to pay. He wants to be listed as a preferred fitter so he has asked me to write to my insurance company outlining the month long (and still unresolved) issues with Autoglass and the fact that he sorted it on the spot!

Cheeky drokker, I cant believe the parts guy said that.

Nice to hear you are all sorted though.

good for you Adam - sticking to your guns with Autoglass
getting a new windscreen is a fairly important job and one that if done badly cant be undone easily.

I had mine done a couple of years ago and it made a difference to how the car looked - no more scratched and chipped windscreen
