At least you drive something nice for that sort of mileage and haven't sold out to an oil burner!

I had a bust screen in 5 weeks, replaced. My current screen has 3 very small surface chips that won't repair - and my glass excess is £100.

The Autoglass guy said they're getting thinner and thinner - weight saving.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Mine's only insured 3TF.... expensive business for company to replace heated screens.

I have no excess on my windscreen, but I'm going on holiday on Saturday.

Had 3 chips in the space of 2 weeks, one had to be repaired which they now charge for.
Annoyingly the repaired chips aren't flush on windscreen so damage wiper blades thus leaving streak....!

All fixed, absolutely superb service from Silver shield once again, they even helped me remove my sound actuator after we all spent 15minutes trying to stop it rattling.

100% recommend

Hmmm the screwing up of the soundaktor causing rattles and messing up my HBA sensor are fears that make me live with the cracked window...

Oh they didn't make it rattle, it has always rattled. They were just nice enough to help me try and fix whilst the window was out. The windscreen replacement is perfect.
