Windscreen replacement cost?

[WhiteGolfMK3]

Somehow I managed to crack all the corner of my windscreen today! Will it pass an MOT? How much for a replacement? Its an mk3.

Thanks in advance

You might have cover from your insurance for windscreen repair, you should look at your policy documents for further info. I had mine done a few weeks ago, cost me 75 pounds excess.
However if you don't have cover expect to pay around 300 pounds.

I believe my excess for windscreens is now 100 on both my policies

My excess is £75, if i'd not gone through insurers it would have cost £250

Oh ye forgot to mention I dont have insurance cover! Will it pass an mot? If so it can wait until I renew my insurance. Any idea of the replacement cost?

call around the windscreen places as I know people have paid under £150 for a tinted mk3 screen fitted

(b.t.w the glass places charge my work £560 for the same screen fitted!!)

Ok thanks everyone for your help, ill call around and see what I can do, only bought the car for £500 so I dont fancy spending £200+ on a new windscreen!

I had the windscreen replaced on my mk4 for £115 from mobile windscreen

You should be OK for an MOT pass if it's in the corner.  Read S.8.3

To summarise.  Zone A is the important test area.  Then the swept area of the wiper blades is a secondary consideration.


REASON FOR REJECTION.

1. In Zone ‘A’:

a. damage not contained within a 10mm
diameter circle, or
b. a windscreen sticker or other obstruction
encroaching more than 10mm
c. a combination of minor damage areas
which seriously restricts the driver’s view

In the remainder of the swept area:

d. damage not contained within a 40mm
diameter circle, or
e. a windscreen sticker or other obstruction
encroaching more than 40mm
f. a temporary windscreen fitted.
