Windscreen replacement
Hi all, I want to get a new windscreen fitted to my car, it's not cracked or got any big chips, but the whole screen is covered in loads of tiny little marks that makes it hard to see in the sunlight. I've had a quote of £160 for a new screen, fitted at my home address. It's not as much as I was expecting, especially as just the screen from Rimmers is £150!
I seem to remember hearing before people saying that after having a screen replaced the fitter had broken something, but I can't remember what it is, to tell them to watch out for. Can anyone tell me what it is so I can either try and get a spare ready, and also ask them to be careful. Thanks |

you could go a step further and have a heated windscreen fitted.
I think it is Rick-sta doing them, he did have a spare but may have sold it. macafee2 |

The scuttle panel plastics go brittle so have to be handled with care like wise the button clips can fly off in all directions and get lost.
Autoglass replaced my screen last year and because of the above I removed wipers and scuttle myself before fitter arrived and then replaced after the job was done.

Now that’s what I call self preservation. Well done that man.

Strongly urge you to avoid Autoglass: very expensive. I used local Somerset company who were around half the price - and excellent.

My replacement was insurance driven so only cost me excess, but would imagine they would be charging top dollar.
