And about time, the crack had nearly made its way across the entire screen, damned frosts
Mr RAC windscreen man is coming between 1 and 5; I won't hold my breath though, I'm praying it doesn't rain

How very dare you announce your new srcreen before
my new screen
I had an RAC one fitted over the xmas break and it's nice to have no chips all over it.
My RAC screen was left with a strange film on it from the blue stick on wrapper. I can still see it sometimes now

I was also a bit dissapointed at the grade of green tint. It just doesn't seem
as tinted as the last (original) screen.

Well ya know, got to get in there first!
I didn't bother about asking for a tinted one (didn't think to ask actually!

)

Shiny new windscreen fitted
Only problem is I've got a creaking sound coming from the front of the headlining that wasn't there before

Fake bosch aero wipers. Get some.
I've done the last 40k or so on a pair and they're still good (although lacking just down from the stalk). Previously I found a normal pair would only last about 10k.

Thanks mjb, the wipers are nearly knackered. I need to pop the arms off to repaint them so I may as well do the blades at the same time.
I've never known the paint to peal off wiper arms before!
It's the usual thing; now I've started cracking into the major jobs on the car I want to start making it look nice

I had the same, it went away after 48hours or so. (RAC)

You're right, it did!
