Driving down the M4 yesterday I heard what sounded like a slap sound. I assumed that the loadcover had sprung back, but when I stopped, I noticed that the the rear drivers side sixth light was smashed with a small entry hole.

I have insurance that covers windscreens etc but when they put me onto Autoglass, the preferred supplier, they informed me it was not available from there supplier.

Any ideas?

Mods - if in wrong section please feel free to move

Thanks. I really had never thought of that......

I have tried Rimmers - not available as 'obsolete' and not stocked by X-Part dealers. Anybody with any suggestions that are actually helpful?

Was it not helpful to suggest to try elsewhere then?

Well no - I had done that. I was asking if anybody knew where might have it. Pretty desperate to be honest.
