I need a windshield.
« on: 27 August 2008, 20:17 »
Hey all, I'm brand new here, just bought myself a M 3 and it needs a little bit of work. For instance the windshield- which needs to be replaced. Wanted to know if anyone knew where I could get one? Im based in Norwich- so somewhere local would be nice, but obviously i do need one so please dont be shy.

do you have fully comp insurance with window cover? if you do get autoglass to do it they will come to your house and they are very quick too.

The screen is bonded and needs specially fitting...but it could be worth calling around your area as i was quoted £90 fitted (with the correct brown tint) and upto £368!!

I had a new windscreen fitted last week by RAC auto windscreen and it only cost £50, that was through my insurance and it didn't affect my no claims

Does a windscreen claim affect your premium the next year at all?

it'll prolly be more cost effective for you to go fully comp if you aren't already

had mine replaced for about £60 i think under fully comp... very nice chap came out and was all chatty and stuff... cup of tea and a phone call was all the effort that was needed... i do liek mods like that!  :wink:

I think on mine (Admiral multicar) you can 'add' winscreen cover for an additional premium.  Once I've paid the additional premium, then the excess, prob cheaper to just pay for the screen!
