« on: 29 June 2012, 17:20 »
Changing my wipers the other day I made a schoolboy error of leaving wiper arm up by itself it has put a huge crack in my windscreen  :cry: anybody ever had one replaced if so how much did it cost.  Many thanks

I paid £75 through my insurance for a MK4 screen a few months ago, it would have been £250 without insurance.
