Cheers, I shall get on the case when I get home then. Only problem I have is Im not going to be in when they fit it as Im at football this Saturday so its just going to bethe old dear at home.
Personally, I'd change it to a time when you can be there to watch the actual install. And I certainly wouldn't use AutoGlass either. Pick up the yellow pages, and look for an independent screen fitter. Explain to them you only want a genuine VW screen, and if they can't supply, then try elsewhere.
I will give them a call to confrim its going to be an OEM VW windscreen. Just to confirm this TT I am completly in my right to "demand" an orginal VW windscreen?
Absolutely right. Its your car, and you have the final say on (a) what bits are fitted [non-gen or OEM], and (b) who actually carries out the work - even for insurance claims. You do NOT have to use the screen company which your insurance company may try to demand. If they do try it on, explain to them they will not only be breaching specific UK competition laws, but will also be breaching the very specific UK insurance industry standards, which clearly state that ONLY genuine parts must be fitted - and there are no exceptions.
Incidentally, my local Audi stealership routinely reject any warranty claim to do with auto headlamps and wipers where non OEM screens have been fitted. Furthermore, they also have a contract with a local "independent" screen fitter, and use gen OEM screens, and it goes through customers insurances without any hassles, and with the standard £50/60/70 glass excess.
Don't let your ins co fob you off with this.
