Expect to pay about £100. Try National Windscreens or Autoglass, get a quote first. I was quoted £110 by National Windscreens for my Golf which wasn't too bad, but I went into the local branch and asked them to do it for £95 and they accepted Thumbs Up

If you get it for £100 bite their arm off.
The Urethane adhesive that bonds windows in is probably about < £10 (and primer is about 20 quid) maybe more and a glass out a scrappy will set you back at least 60 notes. Then remove and replace which is pimps (if you have done a few before and have cutters etc.).

You may also need a mask to protect the adhesive from UV too.

Breaking a windscreen is worse than breaking a mirror. Smile

Double check if it is covered on your insurance. About 3 weeks ago I punched my windscreen and the whole thing shattered.

I rung a chap I know that does screens and said I thought I didn't have windscreen cover (as gocompare site said it didn't come with the cover when I bought the insurance), but he said to double check and it was in fact covered. Cost me £75 excess rather than £140.

Expect about £300 fro autoglass.
A local independent will be cheapest. Had 2 combo van windscreens fitted for £90 each by Bristol Windscreens.

Were they 'Right, Left, Right' Combinations or just a Hay-maker (like Faldo did)?
