OMG Autoglass are pathetic!!!!
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! Annoying when my screen is good, I'm scared to just try and remove it and rebond and it break, then not be able to get one. |

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. |
