Thread: Windscreen

  1. #1

    Windscreen

    Anyone know how much they cost from Reno and/or would it be better to get one from one of those windscreen places?

    If the car is insured, ring your insurer. Only cost you £50.

    It might need to be cracked though.

    i'm covered third party only and possibly not covered for windscreen breakage.will check with the broker at some point.i'd say autoglass or someone like that would be a lot cheaper than the original reno part,however I wonder of there is a difference in quality.

    Mine is a RAC fitted Pilkington number. Not quite as good IMO. THere was a very minor ripple in it that made your eyes go a bit funny, but I'm used to that now.

    can you not ring the insurance company up and say you want a replacement?

    mine has scratches and mini stone chips in it all over, but its perfectly good besides, its juts I want a new one and don't fancy having to go about it with a chisel and a hammer!

    Don't know. Wouldn't take much to crack one.
