Windscreen Replacement

[T_J_G]

Right,

My mirror fell off of the Bora as the people that had the screen replaced must have skimped and didn't get the glass with the bracket built in and got a basic screen and bonded the mirror on.

I've tried all sorts of ways to keep the mirror on but none seem to last more than a few minutes or a few bumps in the road.

So it looks like I'll need to resort to having a new windscreen but Autoglass want £458 for one fitted  Has anyone used any other companies that could possibly do it cheaper.

Have you asked Autoglass if they can glue it on properly?

No they referred me to other companies who may be able to glue it on or replace the screen cheaper

There was some bonding tape that a autoglass guy gave me once when my window dropped in to the door and it was used to hold it up until i replaced the mechanism. (about 2 weeks)

It stuck like sh!t to a blanket. Might be worth seeing if a friendly chip repair man at a shopping park might give you some to try out?

May worth a try cheers slick. I'll have a drive up Hempstead Valley and see if there are any glass companies parked up there. Just had a quote for £125 fr complete replacement from a local company.

If not, you can almost bet on their attendance at Bluewater on weekends, in fact their used to be 2 or 3 of them parked up there.

insurance? sure you can find a crack/chip in there

They'll just repair a chip, the screen is literally 3 months old.

Of course, if a hammer accidently fell on the screen then I'd go through insurance..

not if chip/crack is bigger than 5p

*goes and fetches the hammer*
