General New windscreen cost?

If your fully comp you can usually get it for a £60 excess and they say it doesn't put your premium up but I'd check that before claiming.

Most insurance companies approve autoglass.
 
most have a separate excess for windscreens, best to check your policy though to make sure, I know mine with aviva is £10 excess on window cover and I don't loose my NCD, but with endsleigh I would have lost my NCD regardless of what the claim was
 
£65 excess for replacement which isnt as bad as I thought. Its unclear as to whether it effects my NCD tho
Found this in under 30 seconds from their website :)

Think I would rather not go through insurance. Get my NCB for this year then

Anyone know how much it would be? Aproximately?

Auto Glass will deal with the insurance for you, literally just arrange a time and they sort everything. If you really want to buy one you're looking at £400+
 
Well mine was something like £420 done by the garage, although there is a couple online for £150ish, not sure how you go about fitting!
 
You pay a pro to do it ;) you need some specialist kit to get the screen out without wrecking your paintwork

Along with the specialist primer for the glass

And getting it waterproof not forgetting it forms an important structural part of the car

Get the yellow pages out and find an independent auto glazer
 
Well it was done because of a Tesco Barrier. It just a bar going across.

When its down at night you can hardly see it. Last night it was raining too.

Surely this is dangerous on their part. Im not the only one to hit the dam thing

I got pictures of the damage and pictures of how it looks at night so hopefully they will hear my case
 
So is this Tesco local to you? Has the barrier been down before? Where does the road lead into?


I work there. Barrier isnt always down. Goes down at 9pm usually but with it being Chrostmas they have been leaving it open. Its not easy to see when its shut. No reflectors. Just painted red and white. Even so it still isnt easy

Hard to explain the road layout. Its Tesco Bury, the barrier nearest to the petrol station - just incase you can see it on google maps.

Im not the only person (staff) to hit it. few have before especially in rainy weather
