Default New Windscreen Needed?

Got a crack in the windscreen this morning, it started as a 2 inch crack but by the time I got home it was about 4 inches long. It is right on the edge of the screen on the passenger side, just above the tax disc and runs horizontally across the screen. I'm assuming I will need a new screen and was just wondering if anybody knows the current availability of windscreens. (Mine has the rain sensor)

No problems. People like Autoglass and RAC windscreens will have stock. You just need to mention the rain sensing type when ordering.

Just waiting to hear back from National Windscreens. It's gonna cost me £60 excess but luckily doesn't affect no claims bonus. They asked if it was rain sensor screen, hopefully it will soon be sorted.

Thats nearly £500 spent on the zt in the last 3 weeks!

Look at the top centre of the screen from the outside and you will see it if you have it.

Question really is - why do they all go at this particular place on the screen ? Same symptoms as mine of year before last.
