![]() So I was away last week when we had some torrential downpours. Checked under the V6 carpets again this morning and UGH!!!! WET!!!!! Here we go again.
As someone posted a few weeks back they had managed to get a sensor screen from Autoglass I thought I would ask them - big company bound to let me pay by credit card right? Err no - they won't take my money AT ALL. I have just been told as the screen isn't broken and I cannot claim through insurance, they don't want my money, no matter what car I have, or how I pay....funny seeing as its their windscreen fitted a couple years ago that is leaking!!! How pathetic! Looks like I will have to start looking around again! ![]() |

![]() Dawn, national windscreens (in Northern Ireland) have the windscreens with the rain sensor in stock.
Had my silver saloon done about 4 weeks ago. If you want to claim through your insurance, you may have to have an accident with a lump hammer though..🙄 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

![]() I'm not looking to claim, but they wouldn't take my money as a cash customer. (well card, as I'm skint lol) But they wouldn't take it without it was a claim!
I just tried a local chap who said there are loads in stock, but he wants cash too. I sent National a message, as it says they're not there today. It's not like I can't use the car, so I'll see what they say tomorrow! ![]() |

![]() Yes, actually I could! (although its more interest) He quoted £185, but it bothers me he's just looking at stock on a computer. Last one did that when he rang to order they said the stock was "questionable"! I'll see what prices a couple of others come up with tomorrow and then might do that, though.
I'm just so annoyed that Autoglass don't want you as a customer if it isn't an insurance job! |

![]() Hi Dawn
I had National fit a screen for me just over a year ago. Great job, about £160 at the time & they will just fit you one, claim or not, cracked or not. Used them for the Metro Cabriolet as well. I don't hesitate in recommending them. Regards Paul

A few years back, over 25, I had a Renault Savanna and the bodywork around the front screen rusted, allowing water in. I decided to take a hammer to the screen and have a new one fitted after tidying up the frame. Started with a small hammer and progressed up in size. Damned things just kept bouncing off!! When the screen finally broke there was a huge crater in it because of the force needed. On other occasions I have had a screen destroyed by a small pebble. |
