Windscreen cracked :-(

Post by teamster1975 »

Hi Everyone :-)
I've got a huuuge crack across my windscreen, who would you recommend to do the replacement?
I've got the rain sensors, are these affected?
Thanks for your replies,

I had mine done by Autoglass, cost about £300 iirc. The guy did a good job with it.

I am fully comp luckily! 70 squid excess, sods law it was 50 before renewal :x
I'll go with autoglass, it's my first broken windscreen after 15 years of driving so I wanted to go on the advice of someone else!
Just another thing that needs repairing, why just before Christmas though! :lol:
Thanks mateys :)

Check your insurance policy as you might have to get it done by whoever they say.
