AutoGlass - Replacement Windscreen Unavailable...
Hello all,
I've hit a bit of a snag - my windscreen developed a large crack in it last week and I made a call to my insurance company to get it replaced. It's slightly complicated because the car is with me up in Scotland this week so I asked Autoglass to replace it up here. I got a voicemail from them today, saying that there is no stock of replacement windscreens for my car anywhere in the UK! D'oh. I've yet to call them back as I picked the message up after the office had closed so I'm hoping it is only a temporary problem. I shall report back when I know what's going on, but it is a bit of a worry. Has anyone else had a problem getting their windscreen replaced? Incidentally, the car continues to go from strength to strength in other respects and today, over a couple of hundred miles, returned an indicated 58.8 MPG. It's been a very comfortable way of enjoying a holiday hundreds of miles from home :-) |
Maybe that explains why I’ve sold a few screens in the last few months, strangely I thought somebody else mentioned supply issues recently.

As far as I am aware there are none available and no plans to produce anymore, I sold everyone I had to a local supplier.
This was a few months ago so things may have changed |
Showing in stock at Rimmers and Xpart
https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID002002 Windscreen glass is the one thing I can't imagine that will ever get difficult to obtain - yes, short term supply issues I'm sure, but you can still get glass for the most obscure of cars, it might have to be ordered, but can still be obtained. |
If you look carefully at the pictures, the glass is Pilkington too.
However the price is ludicrous, I picked up a Pilkington glass for £145, and Rimmers have it at £400. ROFL. |
Dawn mentioned that she needed a screen and the local place to her said they had 31 in stock but they were all warped?
|
Thanks for the replies chaps - it didn't occur to me that Rimmer's might have stock.
I've given Autoglass their contact info and will await their next move. |
Autoglass replaced my screen (with auto wipers etc) last month OK
|
As Andy says I am awaiting a screen. There has been a production issue. The last batch had a fault with curvature. I was toldvtwo screens in stock not warped in thevqhole country! I ordered one of those last week for delivery this. There will be more I think just production problem at moment!

Just had mind replaced a couple of weeks ago, Pilkington glass:shrug:
