General Cracked Screen

[doctorchris]

Well, the other morning, as I was scraping the ice from the INSIDE of my windscreen, the scraper slipped and knocked against the rear view mirror. I'm not sure what, exactly, then happened but the mirror seemed to pivot and clash against the screen. This resulted in a crack, which has extended right down the screen in the past few days. The crack seems to originate from the point where the mirror attaches to the screen.
I guess that the severe frost made the screen so brittle that it took very little to crack it.
It seems that the windscreen replacement company are so busy that they can't get to me until Jan 3rd!
Oh, well, I can still see OK through the screen. Just have to hope that I don't get stopped by some over-zealous policeman!

Is the Cross not all it's cracked up to be then...

(sorry...)

I keep having to scrape ice off the insides too (all that melted snow that comes in off yer boots as you get in leads to steaming up and then freezing overnight -- minus 14 here few nights back). I will have to be careful next time in case the same fate occurs.

A word of warning.

I had my screen replaced by autoglass, apparently there are 2 differing screens for the Panda (something to do with the mirror surround markings)

Be prepared for them to get the wrong one - they had to send for the other screen in my case.
