Windscreen

Post by **Vtecmec** » Fri May 18, 2012 6:03 pm

I did mine a few years ago, so prices may have changed a little, I paid £120 for the screen supplied and fitted, but there is a need to replace the trim too at a cost of about £100 unless you do that bit yourself.

The £120 was for a blue or green tint and was off the shelf.

The JDM bronze screen was close to £400.

I went with the blue and IMO visibility is better than the bronze.

Just make sure that anyone who fits it uses a well known branded sealant, mine did not and it came unstuck after a few years.

Autoglass wanted £650 to replace our wind screen but our insurance covered it so it only cost us £75 with insurance, we went with blue screen too

Problem is I don't have the windscreen cover on my insurance.

Not fully comp, therein lies my problem.

I know thats how most people go about it, just wondered if anyone knew where to get them 'off the shelf' so to speak.

I'm TPFT and I have windscreen cover, have you checked your policy?

Yep, first thing I did and I'm not covered.

I just called up a number of local companies and got some quotes. Autoglass were something stupid like £640, but some local ones were around £120-150.

Will have to try and make them out-do each other, instigate a little haggling war

Wait until your next insurance renewal and make sure you get windscreen cover

Next renewal is after my MOT.

Crack is repaired but still visible in the wiper section, so needs doing before the MOT
