Refurbishing screens ??..........I wouldn't imagine the likes of Autoglass would be out there with a tin of jewellers rouge, up to their ankles in oily mud in the scrapyard.

I will say this if the screen you are offered is branded UKG in an oval, decline to have it fitted, and similarly Heywood Williams.....Belron are the parent company of Autoglass, and they are the largest aftermarket screen sourcing company in the world, which generally means Chinese rubbish.

You want either Pilkington or Saint Gobain, and watch it being fitted..........IE no missing clips or trim cover bodged in with mastic
