Another chipped & cracked windscreen

[Steve78]

My second in 2 months... 

£60 excess payment and I insisted in a new screen as I doubt they'd be able to repair the damage.

Gutted.

unlucky mate, at least whatever hit your windscreen didn't hit your paintwork!

It is one of the drawbacks of having a nice fast motor. Always being behind someone waiting to overtake and then........pinnnng..another chip/dent/crack.

I stuck my wipers on one morning and there was grit under them and it left 2 nice semi circles ingrained in the windscreen, but not in line of sight.  there aren't that bad and have lived with it for 3 months so far!

i got a lovely crack across the screen 3 days into a new policy.£50 excess.

just thought ive had nine screens in the last four vehicles ive owned. bloody councils need to clean the roads more often and not a three in the afternoon like they do around my way. grrrrr

Abso-bloody-lutely!  The amount of crap on the roads these days is a joke.  I realise there are more vehicles on the roads nowadays but it’s no excuse.  The councils do below the bare minimum with everything

Well autoglass have done a repair rather than replace the screen that I requested.  It's a good repair job but I can still see the mark on the screen.  I'm wondering if it will bother me in the long term?  The guy said I can give it a few days and then call them back to replace the screen if I want.

i had a nasty chip a few weeks ago, a rock...more like a meteor hit the windscreen and i had autoglass come out to have a look but unfortunately they couldnt fix it for me. the matey did however offer me a new windscreen for £100 on a back hander! should av taken him up on that in retrospect!

If you did it on insurance, if they can't fix it then they replace it.  All you pay is the windscreen excess fee (usually £50-£70).
