Cracked the windscreen on the missuses fabia when changing the fucking wipers , arm sprung back down with no blade on and cracked the bastard glass

Does anyone know any decent companys? or a rough price that it will be *sigh*!! ____________________ Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube.

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  ____________________ C50 > GN250 > XJ600 > SV650S K7 > 2001 RSV Mille R > MT-09, XR400R > 2005 Fireblade (trackbike) + 2022 MT-09 + ZXR400 race bike |

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.

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. ____________________ Current: ZZR1400
